“Massive Expansion Incoming: China Upgrades Tiangong Space Station!”
China is preparing to launch new modules to its Tiangong space station, signaling a bold new phase in its orbital ambitions. Using the powerful Long March 5B rocket, China will add a six-port expansion module to Tiangong’s core, increasing capacity for scientific payloads and international astronauts. The move addresses growing experimental demands and sets the stage for long-term habitation in low Earth orbit.
As the ISS nears retirement, China is inviting global collaboration, starting with astronaut training programs for Pakistan and talks with other nations. Tiangong will also host the upcoming Xuntian telescope, a “Hubble-class” observatory that will revolutionize deep space observation.
This episode breaks down what’s coming, how it works, and what it means for the future of space power. Watch now to see how China’s Tiangong may become the most important space station of the next decade.
