technically speaking,The Tiangong1 is not the chinese space station actually.. it's just a Space target craft for space docking test, 3 spacecraft will try to dock with it within 2 years. it's the route to the space station that one must take. the formal space station will be formed in 2020. and it was said Tiangong will convert to the cargo craft.
