China's new spacecraft Shenzhou-10 is going to be launched during June to August this year, the office of country's space mission, Xinhua News Agency reported today.

Like in the Shenzhou-9 mission, the crew might include two men astronauts and a woman, who are scheduled to enter the Tiangong-1 space lab module, an official in charge of China's manned space program reportedly said in a previous interview.

The country will begin preparations to put a man on the moon in the next five years, according to the latest government white paper.

After the Shenzhou-10 space mission, China is to launch the Tiangong-2 space lab module in a test of supply transport by cargo spaceships, another milestone for China's space program.
