China's Tianzhou-3, a cargo spacecraft that carried supplies to the country's space station, will make a controlled reentry into the Earth's atmosphere on July 27, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

China launched the Tianzhou-3 from Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern province of Hainan on September 20, 2021, delivering six tonnes of goods to the country's under-construction space station.

It separated from the space station core module Tianhe on July 17, 2022, after completing all of its preset tasks.
