The second docking will be conducted with poorer orbit and light conditions purposely to test the reusability of the docking systems. "To make the second docking possible, the two modules need to be first disconnected. And then they will have to be reconnected perfectly. The whole process is new to us." The Shenzhou-8 is equipped with microwave radar, laser radar and a high-resolution imaging sensors to accomplish the docking. It's also important to test whether radars and sensors can be used under different conditions in the second docking. The Shenzhou-8 and Tiangong-1 will orbit together for a total 12 days doing tests. Then a second docking will be followed by two days' flight. Shenzhou-8 is scheduled to return to Earth on November 17th.
第二次对接将在光照区进行，目的是为了测试对接机构的重复使用性。 “要实现二次对接，首先要将两个飞行器分离，接着必须要让他们精准对接。整个过程对于我们来说也是首次尝试。” 神州八号配备有微波雷达、激光雷达以及高分辨率图像传感器，辅以完成对接。在二次对接中，测试雷达和传感器在不同条件中是否可用也同样重要。 神州八号和天宫一号将共轨飞行12天，完成各项检测。之后将进行为期两天的二次对接。预计神州八号将于本月17日返回地面。
