Module of the Tiangong space station
Wentian (), officially the "Wentian" laboratory cabin module (), is a major module of the Tiangong space station. It was the first Laboratory Cabin Module launched, and the first module to extend the existing "Tianhe" core module of the station. It was launched into orbit from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on 24 July 2022, successfully docking with "Tianhe" forward port at 19:13 UTC on the same day. On 25 July 2022 at 02:03 UTC, the crew of Shenzhou 14 opened the hatch and entered the module for the first time. 
"Wentian" was later relocated to the starboard port on 30 September 2022 at 04:44 UTC by the indexing robot arm to make way for the "Mengtian" module
Purpose.
The "Wentian" laboratory module provides additional navigation avionics, propulsion and orientation control as backup functions for the Tianhe Core Module (TCM). It also provides a pressurized environment for researchers to conduct science experiments in freefall or zero gravity which could not be conducted on Earth for more than a few minutes. Experiments can also be placed on the outside of the modules, for exposure to the space environment, cosmic rays, vacuum, and solar winds.
The axial port of "Wentian" is fitted with rendezvous equipment and first docked to the axial port of Tianhe. A mechanical arm dubbed, as Indexing robotic arm, looking as a sort of Lyappa arm used on the Mir space station moved the module to a starboard port of the TCM on 30 September 2022. It is different from the Lyappa as it works on a different mechanism. Mir's Lyappa arm is needed to control the pitch of the spacecraft and redocking in a different plane, but the "Wentian" indexing robot arm is used when docking is needed in the same plane. In addition to this arm used for docking relocation, the Chinarm on "Tianhe" module, could also had been used as a backup of the indexing robot arm.
In addition to this, it also carried a small long robotic arm like the Chinarm as a supplemental to that arm. It is used for manipulating extravehicular payloads and assisting EVAs. Its positioning accuracy is 5 times better than the Chinarm. "Wentian" in total has 22 standard adaptors (silver squares) to host the payloads. "Wentian"'s arm is primarily used to transfer experiments and other hardware outside the station. A dual-arm connector is installed on the "Chinarm", providing it the capability to link with the 5-meter robotic arm, extending its reach and weight-carrying limits.
Electrical power is provided by two steerable solar power arrays, which use photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity. With a wingspan of over 55 m (180 ft), each array has an energy collection area of 110 m2 (1184 square ft). The energy is then stored to power the station when it passes into the Earth's shadow. Resupply ships will replenish fuel for LCM 1 for station-keeping, to counter the effects of atmospheric drag.
Aftermath.
After launch, the "Wentian" module was inserted into a low Earth orbit with an average altitude of at an orbital inclination of 42 degrees, centered in the Earth's thermosphere. It successfully docked with the Tianhe core module nearly thirteen hours after launch.
During the re-entry phase of the Long March rocket's main core stage, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson voiced criticism for allowing the stage to return to the Earth in an uncontrolled re-entry. The stage eventually made re-entry and splashed down over the Pacific Ocean on 30 July 2022, with the bulk of it burning up on re-entry and no known pieces that survived re-entry causing damage.
Assembly.
The Shenzhou 14 mission to the space station assisted with setting up the Wentian module in orbit.
Airlock.
"Wentian" has an airlock primarily used for conducting spacewalks. It features more space than the spherical docking hub on "Tianhe", which had been used for prior spacewalks. On 1 September 2022 (10:26 UTC) Chen Dong and Liu Yang conducted the first spacewalk from the "Wentian" airlock. The "Wentian" airlock is now the primary choice for hosting spacewalks.
