  October 12, 2005 was a special day for 11-year-old Nie Tianxiang.That day she went to the Beijing Aeronautics Control Center with her mum to celebrate her father's 41st birthday.When Nie Tianxing talked to her father by telephone and sang“Happy birthday”, TV viewers on earth saw the space hero slightly wipe his eyes.

  Two years ago China sent its first space hero, Yang Liwei, into the sky aboard Shenzhou V.This turned a new leaf in history as China became the third country to mount manned space missions, after the US and Russia.But this time China took another big step forward by launching two astronauts instead of one.They have new tasks.They keep records of any problems to tell scientists how to do even better the next time.They also perform scientific experiments in space.

  This is only the second step of China's space program.The country plans to build its first station in the future.Longer plans include a landing on the moon.

  “China wants to build its own space station over the next 15 years,” said Wang Yongzhi, one of the famous scientists working on the manned(载人的) space programme. Wang said this while he was speaking to some 100 high school students from Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao on Sunday. That was reported by Monday's Beijing News.

  China has spent 18 billion(十亿) yuan on its manned space programme in the past 11 years and has made great progress(进步). Last October, Yang Liwei, and astronaut(宇航员), flew around the earth 14 times, which is well-known all over the world. Wang said, “Because China doesn't have enough money now, it does not plan to send an astronaut to the moon, but to send up a satellite that moves around the moon.”

  Wang, who is now 72 years old, is an important member of China's manned space programme since 1992.

A Solar-powered Plane---Lowcarbon
Earlier this month, a solar-powered (太阳能动力的)plane called Lowcarbon took off to the sky for the first time. It has passed an important test on the way to travel around the world.
Lowcarbon took off from an airport in Switzerland(瑞士)at 45 km an hour. It slowly rose into the sky.
“There has never been an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy,” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
During the 90-minute flight, Lowcarbon did several turns. It climbs nearly 1.6 km above the countryside.
Engineers plan to test a night flight in July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012. “We want to fly it day and night with no fuel,” Piccard said.
Piccard and pilot Andre Borschberg will take Lowcarbon around the world .They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air----and to show off their aircraft.
Lowcarbon flies at 70 kph on average(平均). That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. The pilots will keep it in the air for up to five days at a time.
