Which space program is China's operational space station?

• A. Beidou
• B. Tiangong
• C. Nudol
• D. GLONASS

Answer: (B)

China's operational space station is the Tiangong program. Tiangong, meaning Heavenly Palace, is a modular, crewed space station that currently consists of a core module (Tianhe) and two laboratory modules (Wentian and Mengtian), designed for long-duration missions and repeat crew rotations. The other options aren’t space stations: Beidou is China’s satellite navigation system, GLONASS is Russia’s navigation system, and Nudol is a missile system. So Tiangong is the space station program.
