China's manned space program has witnessed another milestone, as the Shenzhou-14 taikonauts entered the Mengtian lab module – the third and last part of the three-module China Space Station – on Thursday afternoon, after the new module carried out a transposition to the side docking port, completing in-orbit assembly of the station’s T-shape basic structure.

As seen on live coverage aired by state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) on Thursday, Shenzhou-14 mission commander Chen Dong first entered the Mengtian lab module, followed by his fellow crewmembers Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe.
