Chinese Shenzhou Manned Spacecraft

The Chinese space agency began a serious manned space program in the 1990s, resulting in the Shenzhou spacecraft, modeled after the Russian Soyuz but larger and homemade.

The first unmanned test launch was in 1999, and after a few tests, the first manned flight was in 2003, which orbited 14 times and returned its "taikonaut" after 14 orbits.

In 2005, two taikonauts were launched in the same capsule, and in 2008, three taikonauts were launched together, with two of them taking a spacewalk.

As of 2012, there have been 8 launches, which is 3 manned and 5 unmanned, all successful.

The China National Space Agency (CNSA) also launched its Tiangong-1 space station in 2011, followed by an unmanned automated docking by a Shenzhou.

The Shenzhou launches on a Long March 2F rocket.

This website has a lot of text content, so here are some suggestions on how to navigate and also recognize pages you're seen already vs. still unseen pages in the SiteMap.

There are 2 ways to browse this website:

  • A menu floats on the top left (unless you have JavaScript disabled, in which case you must use our SiteMap).

    or

  • The SiteMap page.

The pulldown menu and the SiteMap are the same tree of pages and links. The pulldown menu offers + and - for expand and collapse sections/subsections/sub-subsections... of the tree, sometimes multiple levels, whereas the SiteMap has everything expanded with no + or - expand and collapse options so the SiteMap is much longer, compared to the pulldown menu if not fully expanded. You may just choose which of the two formats you prefer at a particular time.

The SiteMap colors links red which you have already visited, vs. normal blue for still unseen. It is convenient to browse the SiteMap in one tab or window, and opening pages in other tabs/windows (Ctrl-click or right-click), such as browsing the whole SiteMap to skip pages you've already seen and to choose to open pages you haven't read yet.

The pulldown menu doesn't change the color of seen pages, unfortunately, unlike the SiteMap. However, using the pulldown menu, you can quickly browse the list of sections and other pages without leaving the page you're on. The SiteMap is a separate page of its own.
