The Tianzhou-6 spacecraft will deliver clothing, drinking water and food for the crew members of the Shenzhou-15 mission, who are currently orbiting the Earth aboard the Tiangong Space Station, as well as for the upcoming Shenzhou-16 mission.
The Tianzhou-6 will also carry 1.7 tons of fuel, of which 700 kg will be transferred to the Tiangong so that the Chinese space station can launch engines and maintain its orbit.
