Space base launch

摘要

China has launched its second space station, and a two-member crew is to follow next month. The launch of Tiangong-2 is another step towards China's goal of a self-sustaining space station by 2022, and a reminder of the nation's space prowess. Chinese officials announced that a Long March 2F rocket launched Tiangong-2 from China's Gobi Desert at 2204 local time, coinciding with the lunar Mid-Autumn Festival.
