'Lifeboat' spacecraft successfully docked with China Space Station

02:11

China's Shenzhou-22 spacecraft, which was launched on an emergency mission, has successfully docked with the country's space station just 3.5 hours after take-off from northwest China's Gobi desert. The 'lifeboat' spacecraft will ferry the Shenzhou-21 astronauts back to Earth. The emergency spaceflight marks a historic first for China and provides the world with a blueprint for space rescue.
