BEIJING, May 25 (Xinhua) -- China's Shenzhou-23 crewed spaceship successfully docked with the Tiangong space station at 2:45 a.m. (Beijing Time) Monday, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The spaceship made a fast, automated rendezvous and docking with the radial port of Tiangong's core module Tianhe. The whole docking process took approximately 3.5 hours, said the CMSA.
