China's research vessel Yuanwang-5 arrived at a Sri Lankan port on Tuesday.
The space-tracking vessel docked at Sri Lanka's Hambantota International Port in Hambantota for replenishment purposes.

Zhang Hongwang, captain of Yuanwang-5, said that Yuanwang-5 is on a maritime tracking mission with the long-term control task for Wentian, a lab module of China's space station.
