Tiangong 2 will be a space laboratory of China, which is planned to be launched in 2013 after Tiangong 1. The official site of China manned space engineering gave a very brief description[1] of Tiangong 2 and Tiangong 3, indicating that several manned spaceships will be launched to dock with Tiangong 2.
"Tiangong" means "palace in heaven" in Chinese.
According to Chinese officials, Tiangong-2 is scheduled to be launched around 2015. Unmanned cargo spacecraft will dock with the station, allowing for resupply and long-term human habitation.[2]
