导读:中国第二个空间站“天宫一号”已经进入了最终发射阶段，最快将于本月15日发射升空。
China’s second space lab Tiangong-2 is scheduled to be put into space between September 15 and 20, according to the office of China’s manned space program.
据中国载人航天工程办公室表示，中国第二个空间站“天宫二号”预定将于9月15日到20日期间发射升空。
The space lab was transferred with its carrier rocket to the launch pad at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Friday, said a statement from the office.
中国载人航天工程办公室在一份声明中透露，周五，天宫二号和其运载火箭已经被移动到了甘肃酒泉卫星发射中心的发射台上。
It took 90 minutes to complete the transfer from the assembling center to the launch pad.
把天宫二号从组装中心运到发射台上一共用了90分钟的时间。
"The completion of the transfer signals that the space lab Tiangong-2 mission has entered its launching stage," it said.
这份声明表示：“卫星移动完成意味着空间站天宫二号任务已经进入了发射阶段。”
Technicians completed testing on the assembling of the lab and the rocket after they had been separately delivered to the launch center in July.
今年7月，天宫二号及其运载火箭被分别交付到了酒泉卫星发射中心，之后技术人员们已经对天宫二号和火箭的装配完成了测试。
In the next few days, the launch center will continue testing rocket and inject propellent before the launch.
在接下来发射前的几天里，酒泉发射中心将继续对火箭进行测试、给火箭注入推进剂。
Tiangong-2, which can enable two astronauts to live in space for 30 days, is capable of receiving manned and cargo spaceships and will be used for testing systems and processes for mid-term space stays and refueling.
天宫二号可以容纳两名宇航员在天空中生活30天，并且可以和载人、载物飞船对接，将来会对中程空间停留和燃料再注入系统和流程进行测试。
It will also be involved in experiments on aerospace medicine, space sciences, on-orbit maintenance and space station technologies.
天宫二号还会参与航天医学、空间科学、在轨维护、以及空间站技术方面的实验。
China’s first space lab Tiangong-1, which was launched in September 2011, ended its data service earlier this year. It had docked with Shenzhou-8, Shenzhou-9 and Shenzhou-10 spacecraft and undertaken a series of experiments.
中国第一个空间站“天宫一号”于2011年9月发射升空，在今年年初天宫一号结束了收集传输数据的任务。天宫一号完成了和神舟8号、神舟9号、以及神舟10号的对接任务，并且进行了一系列的实验。
