@photonewspk: Jellyfish Trails and Cosmic Cargo: China’s Tianzhou-9 Paints the Sky on Historic Supply Run China has marked a dazzling new chapter in its space odyssey. On July 15, 2025, the Tianzhou-9 supply ship soared into the early morning sky from Hainan’s Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site atop a Long March-7 Y10 rocket, leaving luminous “jellyfish” rocket clouds that captivated onlookers and social media alike. Within just ten minutes, Tianzhou-9 reached orbit and soon completed a rapid, automated docking with the Tiangong space station’s Tianhe core module, a feat that underscores China’s advancing prowess in orbital logistics and spacecraft technology. This resupply mission brought nearly 6.5 tonnes of cargo including vital life-support supplies, cutting-edge scientific equipment, two new Feitian spacewalk suits, and exercise gear for the Shenzhou-20 and future Shenzhou-21 crews aboard Tiangong. Chinese taikonauts will now begin transferring the delivery which also supports ongoing experiments in space medicine and other disciplines—to keep the nation’s space ambitions healthy and thriving. As the only independently operated space station currently in orbit, Tiangong’s sustained operations signal China’s growing leadership in the next era of human spaceflight, with each mission like the spectacular Tianzhou-9 launch—bringing fresh capabilities and inspiration to Earth and beyond. #chinese #chinatiktok #Tianzhou #rocketleague #rocket #Space #Shenzhou20 #odyssey
