The Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft completed its third automated fast-docking with the Tiangong-2 space lab, on 12 September 2017. Previously, Tianzhou-1 (天舟一号) undocked from Tiangong-2 (天宫二号) and started independent flight on an orbit of around 390 kilometers above the Earth on 21 June 2017. The cargo spacecraft will conduct the third refuelling of the Tiangong-2 space lab before returning to Earth.
 
Congratulations China. Wish you all the best in your latest space mission.

I wish Pakistan would raise its space budget from its current $33 million to something more meaningful and link with you guys in space someday.
