THREE astronauts, including one female, have arrived at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern Gansu Province as China is poised to launch the Shenzhou-9 manned spacecraft in mid-June.
The three astronauts arrived on Saturday and have gone through required tests. It's the first time that a female Chinese astronaut will join a space mission, the Lanzhou Morning Post reported today.
Shenzhou-9 will perform China's first manned space docking mission with the orbiting Tiangong-1 space lab module, it said.
Live butterflies will also be taken into the space for scientific experiments, the report said.
