China's Shenzhou-19 crewed spaceship successfully docked with China Space Station on Wednesday, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

The spaceship conducted a fast automated rendezvous and docked with the front port of the space station's Tianhe core module at 11 a.m., about 6.5 hours later after the launch.

As planned, the three Chinese astronauts on board, Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze, will enter the core module from the spaceship. The Shenzhou-18 crew have made full preparations for the arrival of their fellows.
