Tianzhou-1 2 days
Tianzhou-2 8 hours
Tianzhou-3 &Tianzhou-4 6.5 hours
Now, it only took 2 hours for #Tianzhou5 to dock with China Space Station, breaking a world record held by Russia's Soyuz MS-17 for 3 hours and 3 minutes on October 14, 2020.

China's Tianzhou-5 space truck sets world record.
Tianzhou 5 sets record by docking with Tiangong two hours after launch.
10:02 12.11.2022
BEIJING, November 12 - RIA Novosti. China's Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft set a world record on Saturday by docking with the orbital station just over two hours after being launched from the spaceport, China's manned flight program administration said.
The carrier rocket "Changzheng-7-Y6" with the cargo spacecraft "Tianzhou-5" was launched from the Wenchang Cosmodrome on Hainan Island on November 12, 2022 at 10.03 Beijing time (5.03 Moscow time), and already at 12.10 Beijing time (7.10 Moscow time). ) the truck docked with the rear port of the Tianhe main module of the Tiangong space station.
"This mission was the first to achieve autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking in two hours, setting a world record," the agency said in a statement.
It is noted that this technological breakthrough is of great importance for increasing the level of docking in orbit of Chinese spacecraft, as well as for improving the capacity of supplying the space station in emergency situations.
Thanks to the optimization of the rendezvous and docking control strategy, Tianzhou-5 docked with the station almost three times faster than Tianzhou-4 sent to Tiangong in May, then about 6.5 hours passed from launch to completion of docking.
The truck delivered to the station consumables, fuel and equipment necessary for a six-month stay and work in orbit for three astronauts from the Shenzhou-15 spacecraft, who are due to go to the station before the end of the year.
China began construction of the Tiangong National Orbital Station on April 29, 2021, when the Tianhe main module was successfully launched into orbit, the assembly of the station's main configuration was completed on November 3, 2022. The basic configuration of the Tiangong T-shaped station now consists of the main compartment of the Tianhe and two laboratory modules docked with it, Wentian and Mengtian, the three objects together weigh approximately 69 tons.
The total living space of the station reaches approximately 110 cubic meters, it can simultaneously accommodate three astronauts or six people during a crew change. The designed operational resource of the station is designed for 15 years - until 2038. In addition, at the end of 2023, it is planned to launch the Xuntian Autonomous Astrophysical Module with an optical telescope, which will periodically dock with the station for maintenance.
At the moment, the station has a crew of three manned spacecraft Shenzhou-14, which arrived at the Tiangong in July, this is the third crew on board the Chinese orbital station. The Shenzhou 14 crew is expected to take part in the first crew rotation at the Chinese orbital station, after which crew commander Chen Dong, China's first female astronaut Liu Yang, and Cai Xuzhe, making his first space flight, will return to Earth in December this year. , and the crew of the Shenzhou-15 spacecraft will remain in orbit.

Aboard Tianzhou 5 is a small satellite from the Macau University of Science and Technology, 澳门学生科普卫星一号 (Macao Student Science Satellite 1). There's a 500 kg Macao Science 1 sat under development, but I assume this is a different sat, probably just a cubesat?

6U?
Wrong proportions for 6U. Looks like an unusual 8U.
