The development history of the dock mechanism of China’s ShenZhou spaceship and TianGong target spacecraft was introduced in this paper, including the investigation things, the research things, the design things, the test things and so on. In ShenZhou-8, ShenZhou-9 flight missions, China’s docking mechanism performed perfectly. Combined the flight conditions, the current and future application status of China’s docking mechanism were discussed.
