China launches final space station module Mengtian - state media
BEIJING (Reuters) - China on Monday launched the last of the three modules that will comprise its space station, set to be the second permanently inhabited outpost in low-Earth orbit after the NASA-led International Space Station.
The uncrewed Mengtian ("Dreaming of the Heavens") module was launched atop China’s most powerful rocket, the Long March 5B, at 3:37 p.m. (0737 GMT) from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in the southern island province of Hainan.
