China's first cargo¹ spacecraft, the Tianzhou-1, was launched on Thursday from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in southern China's Hainan Province.

Tianzhou-1 is the first cargo ship independently developed by China and is expected to dock with the orbiting Tiangong-2 space lab and conduct an in-orbit refueling.

The cargo spacecraft will also carry out experiments, including one on non-Newtonian gravitation, before returning to earth.
