BEIJING - 皇冠体育app will launch the manned Shenzhou-9 spacecraft between June and August this year and achieve space rendezvous and docking mission with the orbiting Tiangong-1 space lab module, a spokesman for 皇冠体育app's manned space program said Friday.
The new space docking mission will be realized by astronauts' manual operation, another chance for 皇冠体育app to test its docking technology, he spokesman said.
The three crew members of Shenzhou-9 will enter Tiangong-1 vehicle to live and work there, conducting space science experiments.
