Tiangong-3 (Chinese: 天宫三号; pinyin: Tiāngōng sānhào; literally Heavenly Palace 3) will be a Chinese space station module part of the Tiangong space station program. The China National Space Agency is expected to launch Tiangong-3 around 2015 following the launch of the Tiangong-2 laboratory module in 2013. Tiangong-3’s design will form the basis of a full-size multi-module space station which is expected to launch in the early 2020s.
