"To meet the requirements of dock mission, Shanghai Observatory successfully designed laser retro-reflectors with the FOV up to 90×105 deg and the min. Reflective area over 100cm2 at the distance of more than 20km. The key roles have been played for the applications of lidar measuring system in the docking mission of TG-1 spacecraft. The future docking missions in China will still adopt the same technique with the laser retro-reflector."

"During the process of spacecrafts docking, the distance between two spacecrafts accurately measured is one of the key steps. The lidar is a method of detecting distant objects and determining their position, distance, velocity by measuring pulsed laser light reflected from the objects with characteristics of narrow beam, high resolution, small size, light weight and high accuracy. The lidar system is made up of laser transmitter, receiver and retro-reflector."

As far as I remember, CCTV is using this music for the Chinese manned space missions.

Don't think so -- they are still in shadow. Obviously a repeat.
