China launches first module of its new space station

The video discusses China's Tianha module, which is part of their space station project. Tianha is 16.6 meters long and 4.2 meters in diameter, orbiting Earth at 340 to 450 kilometers. It will provide power, propulsion, and living quarters for astronauts, supporting up to six people during crew changeovers. The module will connect with other modules for scientific experiments and allow docking of Shenzhou and Tianjo spacecraft. China's space station, similar in size to Russia's Mere Station, will weigh 66 metric tons compared to the ISS's 420 metric tons. The video also outlines China's three-step strategy, including the development of crude spacecraft and mini space stations, Tangong One and Two.
