Without any surprises, the two axial modules of the Forward Space Station smoothly entered the 500KM low Earth orbit.
New Yuan No. 3 had ample lift capacity, so it simply launched the modules into a higher orbit, where the atmosphere was even thinner, allowing the Forward Space Station to use less fuel to maintain its orbital altitude.
Four hours after reaching orbit, the truss that had fixed the two modules detached, and the navigation cabin and node module automatically docked, forming a 120-ton colossal composite body.
It is noteworthy that both of the New Yuan No. 3 rockets launched this time utilized reusable second-stage rockets. The second-stage rocket, which was dark and indistinct on September 2, had been previously launched on August 20.
