Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Glint: [B]In an article released today, [URL=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/indepth/2011-09/29/c_131167103.htm]Xinhua[/URL] states all three upcoming Shenzhou missions are unmanned. <blockquote>[i]The unmanned Shenzhou-8, Shenzhou-9 and Shenzhou-10 spacecraft are designed to attach robotically to the Tiangong 1 module in the first dockings in orbit.[/i]</blockquote> This is the first time I've read that all three Shenzhou flights would be unmanned; most sources I've seen have stated both Shenzhou 9 and Shenzhou 10 be manned. However, the source is Chinese. On edit, I think it's poor editing/reading because later in the article it goes on to imply that at least one, Shenzhou 10, will be manned (perhaps with females). <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]According to plan for China's manned space program, the Shenzhou-10 will be a manned spacecraft, possibly carrying a female Chinese who will test manual space rendezvous and docking with the Tiangong-1.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
