The '''Laboratory Cabin Module''' ('''LCM''') ({{zh |s = 实验舱 }}) is a modular component of the [[Tiangong space station]]. Based on the [[Tiangong-2]] experimental space module, the LCMs complete the [[Tiangong program#Tiangong space station|third and final stage]] of [[China Manned Space Program|Project 921]], the [[CNSA]]'s program to establish a permanent Chinese space station. While China's small unmanned spacecraft can provide platforms for zero gravity and exposure to space for scientific research, the LCMs offer a long term environment combined with ready access by human researchers over periods that far exceed the capabilities of [[Shenzhou spacecraft]]. Operations will be controlled from the [[Beijing Aerospace Command and Control Center]] in [[China]].
The first two LCMs scheduled to launch are '''''[[Wentian module|Wentian]]''''' on 24 July 2022 and '''''[[Mengtian module|Mengtian]]''''' ({{zh|s=梦天|t=夢天|p=Mèng Tiān|l=Dreaming of the Heavens<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201804/26/WS5ae12347a3105cdcf651a87b.html|title=Planned space station details made public|quote=The two space labs, Wentian, or Quest for Heavens, and Mengtian, or Dreaming of Heavens|date=2018-04-26|work=[[China Daily]]}}</ref>}}) around October 2022.<ref name="sn-20220531">{{cite web |last=Jones |first=Andrew |url=https://spacenews.com/rocket-to-launch-chinas-next-space-station-module-arrives-at-launch-center/ |title=Rocket to launch China's next space station module arrives at launch center |work=[[SpaceNews]] |date=31 May 2022 |access-date=1 June 2022}}</ref>
