A record number of 14 experiments will be carried out on the Tiangong-2 space lab after it docks with the Shenzhou-11 spacecraft on Tuesday evening. The experiments cover cutting edge technologies such as space materials science and space life science.

Astronauts are going to use the world's first in-space cold atomic clock to measure time more accurately, and increase the precision of navigation systems here on Earth.
