A cargo spacecraft docked with China's space station hours after its launch Monday. A Long March 7 lifted off from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center at 1:56 pm EDT (1756 GMT) and placed the Tianzhou-4 spacecraft into orbit. That spacecraft docked with the space station's Tianhe module seven hours later. The spacecraft delivered around 6.9 tons of supplies for June's Shenzhou-14 crewed mission, space station maintenance equipment, space science experiment apparatus, and a refrigerator for space science and medical experiments.
