中国成功完成了其航天器的首次载人交会对接任务，这是中国欲在2020年前后发射空间站计划的重要一步。周一，神舟九号飞船与天宫一号空间实验室成功对接。
Monday, the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft smoothly docked with the space lab module Tiangong-1. The success, which is China's first manned rendezvous and docking between a spacecraft and a space module, marks an important step towards the country's goal of launching its space station by around 2020.
