They don't waste any time do they? That was one of the faster dockings I've seen.

Have there been any times published of the Tianzhou 1 orbit-raising manoeuvres leading up to docking, please?

You can see that the camera on TZ-1 is of much better quality than that of on board TG-2.

First look inside TZ-1.
Cargo loaded inside was apparently "real ones or mass simulators" simulating a load for 3 people for a 30 days mission. There is also one "space suit simulator" (whatever it is), 1 each of drinking water and hard water containers, and 2 mass simulators of oxygen and nitrogen tanks.

Docking was about 3-3.5 hours earlier than we see on the Shenzhou missions.

Cooper, what are you doing ?
Docking
It's impossible
No, it's necessary
