Combo of Tianzhou3 cargo spacecraft and Long March-7 Y4 rocket is in good shape, poised for fuel-injection and upcoming launch from Wenchang launch base in S China’s Hainan Province.

Carrying supplies including water and propellent to sustain Shenzhou13 mission for six months, Tianzhou3 is to make fast automatic rendezvous and docking with China’s Tianhe space station core module, as the Tianzhou2 did during the previous mission.
