<p>The spacecraft was launched by a Long March-2F rocket at 12.23am local time on Saturday and docked with the Tianhe core module of the Tiangong space station some six and a half hours later.</p>
<p>The two men and one woman are the second crew to move into the space station, which was launched last April. The first crew stayed three months.</p>
<p>The trio will set a new record for the length of time spent in space by Chinese astronauts as the country moves towards complete the orbiting structure.</p>
<p>The first crew members at the station conducted two spacewalks and deployed a 33ft mechanical arm before returning from their 90-day stay in mid-September.</p>
<p>The new crew includes two veterans of space travel – pilot Zhai Zhigang, 55, and Wang Yaping, 41, the only woman on the mission – and Ye Guangfu, 41, who is making his first trip to space.</p>
