作為中國首個空間實驗室雛形，“天宮一號”擬于9月29日（周四）21時16分至21時31分從位于中國西北部的酒泉衛星發射中心升空。 |
| If the Tiangong-1 successfully enters its low Earth orbit, it will await space dockings with the Shenzhou-8 spacecraft, to be launched one month later, and the Shenzhou-9 and -10 spacecraft, to be launched successively for more docking tests in the next two years. |
如果“天宮一號”成功發射進入低軌道飛行，我國將于一個月之后發射“神舟八號”飛船與其交會對接，兩年內將相繼發射“神舟九號”和“神舟十號”飛船與之交會對接。 |
| According to the plan for China's manned space program, the Shenzhou-10 will be a manned spacecraft, possibly carrying a female Chinese astronaut who will test manual space rendezvous and docking with the Tiangong-1. |
根據中國載人航天工程計劃，“神舟十號”飛船執行載人飛行，有望搭載女航天員進入太空，執行飛船與“天宮一號”手控交會對接任務。 |

Functioning as a target spacecraft, Tiangong-1 is expected to become China's first space laboratory when it connects to the above mentioned spaceships.
