China plans to launch a third and final module to Tiangong in October. Called Mengtian, that experiment module will also carry a pair of large solar arrays similar to those of Wentian.mission astronauts—who are currently aboard Tiangong and preparing for a first extravehicular activity, or spacewalk, from the Wentian module—will greet the module.
