for-all-mankind:

For the first time in their space program, Chinese state media will broadcast the docking of Shenzhou-11 to the Tiangong-2 space laboratory, which is just minutes away. Docking is projected to occur around 3:30pm EDT.

Unlike the previous two crewed missions to the earlier Tiangong-1, Shenzhou-11 will deploy a microsatellite that will photograph and record the orbital maneuvers. Banxing 2 will be deployed shortly before the spacecraft begins its final approach to the laboratory.

Watch the docking live here.
