Mengzhou 1 (Chinese: 梦舟一号; pinyin: Mèngzhōu yī hào; lit. 'Dream Vessel Number 1') is a planned uncrewed orbital test flight of the Mengzhou spacecraft presently scheduled for late 2026. This will also be the maiden orbital flight of the Long March 10A crew-rated rocket. The mission will dock to the radial port of the Tiangong space station, which will become available after the planned departure of Shenzhou 23 in November 2026. One version of the Mengzhou spacecraft is planned as a future replacement for the Shenzhou spacecraft for missions to Tiangong and a more capable version will be used to transport crews to low lunar orbits for China's planned crewed lunar landings which are expected to occur by the end of the 2020s.
