Three Chinese taikonauts from the Shenzhou 15 mission reached the Chinese space station Tiangong with an automated docking maneuver. They blasted off about seven hours earlier on a Long March-2F rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. They form the fourth crew of the Chinese space station and will remain there for about six months, the standard duration for a mission.

This is a lovely 15-second shot of the lift-off of the #Chinese Long March 2F Y15 with the #Shenzou15 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in NW China at 15:08 (UTC).

The lovely shot of the launch vehicle lift-off. It seems to pierce the Moon with its escape rocket tower as it lifts off.

The rocket carries 3 #taikonauts to China's #Tiangong space station. The 3 taikonauts will replace the 3 taikonauts present in the completed Tiangong now.
