China plans to add three modules to its Tiangong space station, doubling its size, as Nasa prepares to retire the International Space Station in early 2031. State broadcaster CCTV reports that Tiangong will first receive a fourth multifunctional module attached to the Tianhe core, forming a cross-shaped configuration. The expansion will create a six-module structure with a total mass of about 180 tonnes, though no timeline has been released.

Nasa has moved up the launch of its Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station to February 11, following the early return of the previous crew due to a medical issue. The astronauts will join the three remaining occupants aboard the orbiting laboratory. The mission originates from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
