Mengzhou 1 (Chinese: 梦舟一号; pinyin: Mèngzhōu yī hào; lit. 'Dream Vessel Number 1') is a planned uncrewed orbital test flight of the Mengzhou spacecraft presently scheduled for 2027.^[1] This will also be the maiden orbital flight of the Long March 10A crew-rated rocket.

The mission is set to dock to the radial port of the Tiangong space station.^[2]

One version of the Mengzhou spacecraft is planned as a future replacement for the Shenzhou spacecraft for missions to Tiangong and a more capable version will be used to transport crews to low lunar orbits for China's planned crewed lunar landings which are expected to occur by the end of the 2020s.^[3]
