Spacecraft has deployed solar panels, currently still calculating orbit accuracy I believe. Everything seems to have gone smoothly.
Update: actual orbit matches target orbit
Update 2: launch has been officially declared success

When will they dock?

I like the call from the launch complex at the end:
"All launch missions from Jiuquan for today completed, all other stations continue on for any further launch missions".

I thought that's like a standard statement, then I realised there's actually a Long March 2C launch today from Xichang in 7 hours.

Russia is playing a game. If Putin manage to extract a promise from Biden that the US and NATO will respect Russia’s primacy in the former Czarist sphere of influence, Russia will immediately drop collaboration with China in any field that makes the US nervous.

The main question is whether the US can admit to herself that she has been overplaying her hand with respect to Russia during the last 20 years, and her capacity to simultaneously contain both russian and china is weak.

Russia and Putin sees this, and wants to leverage the fact that in the long run Russia’s capacity to reduce American global influence is much less than those of the chinese. So it wants something from the US for not taking China’s side.
Nonsense, Russia siding with China is out of necessity for further economic growth and scientific collaboration, not an hedge.
What do you think will happen to Russia if China were to lose the strategic competition with US ?

Beside, there is not much area for economic collaboration between US and Russia given the nature of Russia's economic.

Look at CNBC guys deliberately saying Spyna out of pure spite. Why do they have to be so hostile to anything china does ? No wonder these are the same kind of people who colonized and genocide millions of jews in WW2. They just can't tolerate other people progress.

Tianzhou-2 docked to TSS 7h48m after launching, Shenzhou-12 will take about 5h18m before docking.

Both cargos use the new automatic quick docking mechanizm which debuted by Tianzhou-2.

This technology maybe using optical and milimeter microwave sensor for measuring. The CNSA expert told the TV media that the shortest docking time needed depends on the position of the sun, which may interfere with the docking procedure.
