China Launching Module to Practice Docking on Their Own Space Station
China has started to work on their own space station. Rebuffed from the U.S. led space station, China is launching a module to practice docking at its own station planned for 2020.
The eight-ton module will serve as an orbital testbed for China to practice robotic rendezous and docking techniques, a necessary skill for the assembly and operation of the manned outpost China intends to build around 2020.
