TIANZHOU-10

Chinese Cargo Spacecraft (Tiangong Resupply) · CASC / China Manned Space Agency

Tianzhou-10, China's tenth and heaviest-ever cargo resupply mission to the Tiangong space station, launched May 11, 2026 aboard a Long March 7 and docking with Tianhe's aft port just five hours later. Its 6,300 kg of cargo included fresh fruit, steaks, and chicken wings for the crew's oven, 700 kg of station propellant, a new modular Feitian spacesuit engineered for 20 spacewalks over four years, and a Hong Kong University of Science and Technology-built instrument to monitor global carbon dioxide and methane emissions. Tianzhou-10 also debuted an intelligent onboard diagnostic system that autonomously detects technical faults — software China says will become a safety baseline for future crewed lunar missions.
