Tiangong: the three-module space station and the agency that runs China's crewed flights
Background
Tiangong is China's space station, built to serve as a state-level space lab supporting long astronaut stays and large-scale scientific and application experiments.
It has a basic three-module configuration: the core module, Tianhe, and two lab modules, Wentian and Mengtian.
It is designed to accommodate 25 experiment cabinets.
The Wentian lab module supports experiments on life, ecology, and biotechnology.
The Mengtian lab module carries cabinets for the physics of fluids, material science, combustion science, and basic physics.
The crewed programme is run by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
Shenzhou crewed spaceships are launched on Long March-2F carrier rockets from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China and reach the station by a fast automated rendezvous and docking.
In plain words
Tiangong — China's space station, in orbit as a laboratory for long crewed stays.
CMSA China Manned Space Agency — The agency that runs China's crewed space missions and announces their results.
Rendezvous and docking — The manoeuvre by which an arriving spacecraft matches orbits with a station and joins it.
