On the 21st December 2023 Hour Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration On May 10th 2023 , the combination of the Chang Zheng Long March 7 Yao 8 carrier rocket has safely arrived at the Wenchang Space Launch Site…… According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, the Long March-7 Yao-8 carrier rocket that will carry out the Tianzhou-7 launch mission has completed all development work before leaving the factory and will be launched in 2023.
It was safely transported to the Wenchang Space Launch Site on December 21, 2023. After that, the Long March 7 Yao 8 launch vehicle will carry out final assembly and testing at the launch site together with the Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft that has arrived in advance. At present, all participating systems in the launch site area are steadily preparing for missions as planned….
Tianzhou 7 arrives in Wenchang! Expected to launch in January 2024
Recently, after completing the work related to leaving the factory, the “Tianzhou 7” cargo spacecraft has arrived at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan Province, China, People’s Republic of China. Subsequent final assembly, testing and other work will be carried out as planned. Preparations for the launch site for the next cargo supply mission are underway as planned. Expand.
It is expected that in January 2024, the “Tianzhou-7” cargo spacecraft will be launched by the “Long March 7” Yao-8 carrier rocket. The spacecraft will ascend using the rapid rendezvous and docking mode and dock behind the “Tianhe” core module of the Chinese Space Station. Send a new batch of cargo supplies to the port for the “God Seventeen” mission. Before the “Tianzhou-7” spacecraft goes up, the “Tianzhou-6” spacecraft will unlock and separate from the rear port of the “Tianhe” core module, freeing up the docking port for the former.
The “Tianzhou-7” cargo spacecraft is the second in a new batch of “Tianzhou” spacecraft. This batch has developed and produced six spacecrafts, “Tianzhou-6” to “Tianzhou-11”. Compared with the “Tianzhou-5” spacecraft in the previous batch, the “Tianzhou-7” spacecraft has undergone system upgrades and greatly improved the cargo compartment. The cabin volume has increased by 20% and the transportation capacity has increased by about 500. Kilogram, the maximum transport capacity has been increased from the previous 6.9 tons to about 7.4 tons, and the materials provided to astronauts will be able to support longer missions. Based on the increase in transportation capacity, the launch density of the space station mission “Tianzhou” cargo spacecraft has been adjusted from the previous 2 times/1 year to 3 times/2 years, with an average of one launch mission every 8 months, and the subsequent launch density will be further reduced.

The “Tianzhou-7” cargo spacecraft adopts a dual-cabin tandem configuration, with a propulsion cabin and a cargo cabin from bottom to top. The total length of the spacecraft is 10.6 meters, the maximum diameter of the main body (cargo compartment) is 3.35 meters, the dry mass is 6.5 tons, the maximum upward transport capacity is 7.4 tons, and the cargo-cargo ratio reaches 0.53. The “Tianzhou” improved cargo spacecraft is the spacecraft with the strongest transportation capacity, the highest cargo load ratio, and the most comprehensive on-orbit support capabilities among the world’s active cargo spacecraft.
Since the establishment of the space station, the launch missions of China’s manned space project have entered a normalized stage, with 2 manned launch missions and 1 to 2 cargo launch missions being carried out on a regular basis every year. According to the plan, China’s manned space program will carry out four launch missions in 2024: “Tianzhou 7”, “Shenzhou 18”, “Tianzhou 8” and “Shenzhou 19”. Among them, “Tianzhou 7” “No. 1” mission will take the lead.
According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, at 16:46 on September 11, 2023, Beijing time, the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft, which has completed all scheduled tasks, successfully re-entered the atmosphere. Evacuate the space station assembly and transition to independent flight. It will re-enter the atmosphere in a controlled manner on September 12 as planned. Most of the components of the cargo spacecraft will be ablated and destroyed during the re-entry process, and a small amount of debris will fall into the South Pacific for a predetermined safety. sea area.
The Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft was launched into orbit at the Wenchang Space Launch Site on November 12, 2022, carrying consumables, propellants, and application materials for the three Shenzhou-15 astronauts to stay in orbit for six months (test ) experimental equipment and other materials, carrying a number of space application projects such as the “Macau Student Science Satellite No. 1” cube satellite, space hydrogen and oxygen fuel cells, and space high-energy particle detection payloads. During its in-orbit flight, the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft evacuated the space station assembly on May 5, 2023. After flying independently for 33 days, it rendezvous and docked with the space station assembly again and continued to carry out relevant space technology experiments.
