China launches spaceship with 3 on board to its orbital station

China has launched the Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft carrying three astronauts to its Tiangong orbital space station, to join three other crewmembers who have been there for six months and will go back to Earth after a one-week overlap.

This marks the station’s first in-orbit crew rotation.
