The spaceship took three spacemen into space.It is the first manned task to take place as part of the building of China’s Tiangong space station. After entering orbit(轨道),the Shenzhou-12 completed a fast connection with the space station center module(舱) Tianhe,which is now traveling with the cargo ship Tianzhou-2 in low-Earth orbit hundreds of kilometers above the ground. It didn’t take long for the spacemen to reach the space station.“The trip used to take about two days,but this time,it took only 6.5 hours after leaving the earth,” said Gao Xu,one designer of the Shenzhou-12.This is as long as a high-speed train trip from Beijing to Hunan.
