China's space lab Tiangong-2 is in good condition, ready to dock with the Shenzhou-11 manned spacecraft that successfully launched from Jiuquan satellite launch center on Monday. The docking orbit is at an altitude of 393 kilometers above the earth.

The control center also made some preparation so that the astronauts can live and work under safe conditions in the space lab. "We have conducted relevant tests of the pressure, temperature and toxic gas in Tiangong-2. By doing so, the astronauts will have normal working and living conditions after they get inside it. After testing, we have identified that there is no toxic gas. We have ensured that Tiangong-2 is fully operational, ready to dock with Shenzhou-11," said Chen Xianfeng, a director at the Beijing Aerospace Control Center.

Does this count as fooling around in earth orbit?

An accompanying satellite was launched from space lab Tiangong-2.The satellite, which weighs 47 kilograms and is the size of a printer, was launched into space aboard Tiangong-2, said the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The micro satellite is able to conduct efficient orbit control, process tasks autonomously and transmit data at high speeds, with stronger capabilities compared with the accompanying satellite of the Shenzhou-7 spacecraft, according to the center.

At the end of October, the satellite will orbit close to Tiangong-2 and Shenzhou-11 and take photos with the high-resolution camera installed on it.The accompanying satellite will also carry out space experiments with Tiangong-2 to expand the use of space.
