Long March 5B is a large-scale launch vehicle developed on the basis of Long March 5, designed in accordance with the idea of generalization, serialization, and combination, by removing the core secondary and interstage sections and extending the fairing. It is also China's first large-scale launch vehicle with a one-and-a-half configuration. It is currently China's rocket with the largest low-Earth orbit carrying capacity.

The 'Tianhe' Core Cabin Module provides life support and living quarters for three crew members, and provides guidance, navigation, and orientation control for the station. The module also provides the station's power, propulsion, and life support systems. The module consists of three sections, living quarters, service section and a docking hub. The living quarters will contain a kitchen and toilet, fire control equipment, atmospheric processing and control equipment, computers, scientific apparatus, communications equipment to send and receive communications via ground control in Beijing, and other equipment. A Canadian-style SSRMS robotic arm will be transported into space folded under the Tisane service section. Additionally, the Wentian experiment (described below) will also carry a duplicate stowed second SSRMS robotic arm.
