Each system, which is expected to perform China's first space manned docking with Tiangong-1 has entered in its final preparation stage. The launch system has finished testing and has turned to fuel injection.

The rockets' and the shuttle's test work has ended, but there are still a lot of ground handling. Compared with Shenzhou-8, the weather condition, especially the high temperature is one of the main difficulties.

In order to shorten the launch process and guarantee safety, the fuel injection workers should cool down the propellant. According to the coordination group leader of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, they have finished the system adjustment, the preparation of filling equipment and the connection of injection pipes. After finishing the air tightness inspection, they will begin to inject the propellant.
