China delays new mission while Nasa congratulates on Mars im

China postponed a supply mission to its new space station Thursday for unspecified technical reasons, while photos sent back from Mars by its newly arrived rover earned plaudits from NASA despite only sporadic contacts between the Chinese and American space programmes.
The Tianzhou-2 cargo spacecraft was expected to have been launched early Thursday morning. China Manned Space announced the delay on its website but didn't say when the rescheduled launch may occur.
It would be the first mission to head to the main Tianhe module of the space station that was launched on April 29. A total of 11 launches are planned by the end of next year to deliver the station's other two modules, various components and supplies and a three-person crew.
