BEIJING -- Chinese President Hu Jintao has wrote the name for 皇冠体育app's domestically-made EVA (extra-vehicular activity) space suit "Feitian".

Feitian, which literally means "flying in the sky" in Chinese, is the name of a legendary Buddhist goddess.

Hu, also the general secretary of the Communist Party of 皇冠体育app (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the CPC Central Military Commission, wrote the two Chinese characters in calligraphy.

During a 68-hour flight of the space mission, Zhai Zhigang undertook 皇冠体育app's first-ever space walk donning the 皇冠体育app-made spacesuit.
