On October 12, 2005, China launched its second manned spaceship, Shenzhou VI,send- mg two
spacemen into space. It was the second time that our country had sent up manned spaceship after Shenzhou
V. China has become the third country to send people to space after Russia and the USA.
     Shenzhou VI lifted off on a Long March 2F rocket from Jiuquan,Gansu Province.Two spacemen Fei
Junlong and Nie Haisheng traveled around the earth 80 times in 115 hours and thirty-two minutes and landed
safely in the Inner Mongolian grasslands on October 17, 2005.
     The spaceship has three modules (飞船舱): the orbital module where scientific experiments (实验) like
testing space foods and drinks are done; the re-entry capsule where the spacemen spent most of their time.
and the service module,which has fuel (燃料), air and other technical equipment (技术设备) in it.
    Unlike Yang Liwei's space trip two years ago, Fei and Nie went up and down between the modules for
scientific experiments. For the first time, they took off their space suits and moved around in the modules
freely. From space, Fei and Nie could make long distance calls to their families at the launch centre. Nie's
daughter even sang "Happy Birthday" to her Dad during the phone call. .
    It is said that our country will launch Shenzhou VII in 2007. The plan for Shenzhou VII is to make
China's first space walk possible. Later, Shenzhou VIll will start to build China's first space station. China
also plans to land on the moon by 2010.
