China Experimental Space Lab

China's defunct Tiangong 1 space station mostly burned up on re-entry Monday into the atmosphere over the central South Pacific.

China's spacecraft Shenzhou-11, carrying two taikonauts separated from orbiting experimental space lab Tiangong-2 today as they prepared for their journey to return to earth after a month's stay in space, the longest by Chinese astronauts.

China's experimental space lab Tiangong-2 orbiting the Earth with two astronauts on board has successfully launched a micro-satellite, roughly the size of a desktop printer.

China is ready for its longest-ever manned space mission with a spacecraft carrying two astronauts set to lift off on Monday to dock with an experimental lab for a month-long stay under the Communist giant's ambitious plans to establish its own permanent space station by 2022.

Scientific apparatus carried by China's experimental space lab Tiangong-2 has began operating after being on standby mode for nearly seven days since it entered its preset orbit.

China will launch its second experimental space laboratory late on Thursday and another manned space mission next month, the government said, part of a broader plan to have a permanent manned space station in service around 2022.

China's latest manned spacecraft blasted off with three astronauts on board today on a 15-day mission to an experimental space lab in the latest step towards the development of a space station.
