> The Tianzhou (Chinese: 天舟; lit. 'Heavenly Ship') is a Chinese automated cargo spacecraft developed from China's first prototype space station Tiangong-1 to resupply the Chinese Space Station. It was first launched (Tianzhou 1) on the Long March 7 rocket on April 20, 2017, and demonstrated autonomous propellant transfer (space refueling).
>
> The Tianzhou cargo ship has several notable differences from the Tiangong stations from which it is derived. It has only three segments of solar panels (against 4 for Tiangong) but has 4 maneuvering engines (against 2).
>
> Classically, the Tianzhou space freighter consists of two sub-assemblies: the service module in which the propulsion, energy system, and various equipment necessary for the operation of the spacecraft are located, and the orbital module containing the cargo.
>
> The service module is similar to the service module of Tiangong 1 with some modifications: a larger number of propellant tanks, and a more powerful propulsion system. The module is 3.3 meters long and has a diameter of 2.8 meters. The main propulsion used for orbital maneuvers consists of 4 rocket engines with a unit thrust of 490 newtons.
>
> The cargo module is 5 meters long and has in its basic version a pressurized bunker to transport cargo with a volume of 15 m3. The front part is equipped with an APAS-type hatch that allows electrical connections to be made, as well as 4 pipelines used to transfer fluids to the space station's tanks.
