Shenzhou VI
China has set the date for its second manned rocket launch, Shenzhou VI. The rocket will launch in early October and will carry two astronauts into a low Earth orbit. They will orbit for five to six days. This will be significantly longer than the 21 and a half hour journey of Yang Liwei, China's first astronaut, two years ago.
