The Shenzhou V spacecraft is launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center(酒泉卫星发射中心)near the Gobi desert in western China. The launch center is China's first spacecraft launch base(发射基地). China's first satellite, the Dong Fang Hong, blasted off there in 1970 and so did the first four unmanned spaecrafts (无人飞船)since 1999.
Shenzhou V carries one kilo of plant seeds. Besides, handguns, knives and other defensive weapons(自卫武器)are also stored in the spaceship. These weapons can help the astronaut to deal with wild beasts and other dangerous animals or enemies if the spacecraft were to land somewhere else other than(而不是)the pre-selected area (事先指定的区域).
The astronaut can eat shredded pork with garlic sauce(蒜蓉肉酱)and kungpao chicken (宫爆鸡丁). After the meal, the astronaut can enjoy green tea.
The spacecraft first flies on an elliptical orbit(轨道).The orbital altitude ranges between a minimum of 200 kilometers and a maximum of 350 kilometers from the earth. The spacecraft then shifts to a circular orbit with an altitude of 343 kilometers. It circles in the orbit 14 times around the globe, or about 21 hours before landing in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.
The manned space program's ultimate goal(最终目标)for China is to explore outer space(探索外层空间)and make a good use of the rich resources of space.
“The Shenzhou V is a step forward for all humankind. The historic mission(使命)will usher (引导)in new era (纪元)of international cooperation in the exploration and peaceful use of outer apace . ” Kofi Annan, UN Secretary-General said.
