China launches cargo craft Tianzhou 5 for space station supplies
China launched cargo spacecraft Tianzhou 5 on Saturday morning to deliver supplies for the space station, the construction of which is expected to be completed this year.
The Long March-7 Y6 rocket, carrying Tianzhou 5, blasted off from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern island province of Hainan, according to the China Manned Space Agency.
After around 10 minutes, Tianzhou 5 separated from the rocket and entered its designated orbit. Its solar panels soon unfolded and began working. The CMSA declared the launch a complete success.
The cargo craft carries around 5 tonnes of goods and materials and 1.4 tonnes of propellant for the space station complex, including essential supplies for the three astronauts on the upcoming Shenzhou-15 mission for their six-month orbital stay, said Pan Weizhen, a designer of the cargo craft system from the China Academy of Space Technology.
It also carries test projects including a science popularization satellite, space hydrogen and oxygen fuel cell system, and broad-energy-spectrum high-energy particle detection equipment.
