CHINAS FIRST PILOTED SPACE MISSION
Beijing. For years, the Chinese dream of going into space. In October 2003, Yang Liwei became the first
Chinese astronaut in history. He orbited Earth for 20 hours before landing safely in northern China on
October 15. Yangs successful flight made China the third nation to send a piloted mission to space.
China has been investing in space programs since de mid -1950s. It was only in 1992 that the country
officially launched a piloted spaceflight program, later named Shenzhou (Divine Vessel). From 1999 to
2002 the country succeeded in launching four unpiloted flights.
Some people believe that the Chinese will soon be launching a series of flights. However, program officials
have only confirmed that the next flight will take place within 1 or 2 years. The country also hopes to have
built its own space station within 10 years.
