The Chinese spaceship Shenzhou-7 blasted off on a Long March II-F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern Gansu Province at 9:10 p.m. The three astronauts will orbit the earth for 4 days and one of them will float out of the cabin about 343 kilometers above the earth. China will become the third country in the world who is able to conduct extra-vehicular activity in space following the former Soviet Union and the United States.
