According to news from CTOnews.com on November 1, 2022, the Mengtian experimental module successfully docked at the forward ports of the sky and core module of the China Space Station at 04:27 on November 1, 2022, Beijing time, bringing the third segment of the China Space Station to astronauts.

According to CCTV news, the Mengtian experimental module also brings a unique stunt to the Chinese space station, which can send micro aircraft into space.

Reported that the Mengtian experimental module equipped with micro-aircraft in-orbit release mechanism can meet the 100-kilogram class micro-vehicles or multiple specifications of local stars in-orbit release needs, to solve the problem of low-cost microsatellites and local stars into space.

Experts say the first part of the process of launching a satellite in orbit is similar to loading out of the cabin, grasping the micro-satellite release mechanism through a robotic arm and ejecting directly using a spring mechanism in the direction you want to release. In this way, tiny satellites can be sent on the space station without occupying a rocket, and the satellite can be put into orbit quickly, economically and efficiently.

CTOnews.com learned that the Mengtian experimental module is the third and second scientific experimental module of the Chinese space station. it is composed of a working module, a payload module, a cargo airlock module and a resource module, with a takeoff weight of about 23 tons. It is mainly used to carry out space science and application experiments, and to participate in the management of the space station assembly. The cargo airlock module can support the automatic entry and exit of cargo in and out of the module, and provide support for scientific experiments inside and outside the cabin.

In the follow-up, the Chinese space station will carry out the transposition of the Mengtian experimental module as planned, and the Mengtian experimental module will form a basic configuration combination of the space station "T" with the Tianhe core module and the Mengtian experimental module.
