On Tuesday, November 25, 2025, China's Shenzhou-22 spaceship successfully docked with the space station combination, the China Manned Space Agency announced.
This milestone demonstrates the precision of China's crewed space program, extending the nation's capacity for operations in orbit. The agency said the coming days would focus on module testing, system checks and scientific experiments designed to advance our understanding of microgravity environments.
Space experts note that smooth docking procedures are vital for any orbital outpost, enabling vehicle resupply, personnel rotations and station expansion. For China, each successful connection reinforces its role in the competitive arena of human spaceflight.
Shenzhou-22 will remain attached to the station combination through the end of its mission, gathering data and verifying key technologies for future expeditions.
