The Thien Cung space station collided with space debris, causing damage to the solar battery and was successfully repaired.
China will send a new crew to the Tiangong space station, the latest mission in the program to send astronauts to the Moon by 2030.
The Thien Cung space station, located 400km above Earth, always has spring-like temperatures, providing an optimal environment for astronauts to live and work.
Larger than the space station Mir Russia 140 tons, Thien Cung will include a core module and two lab cabins, large enough to accommodate 3 to 6 astronauts.
