Confirmation has arrived that the Shenzhou 22 spacecraft has reached the Tiangong space station with an automated docking maneuver. It launched with no crew aboard about 3.5 hours earlier atop a Long March-2F rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The Shenzhou 22 was sent to the Tiangong to provide the Shenzhou 21 mission crew with a reliable vehicle to return to Earth.
