E-mail into space

ASTRONAUTS in the orbiting space lab Tiangong-1 received their first e-mail from Earth yesterday afternoon, the Beijing Aerospace Control Center confirmed.

The e-mail, containing photos, text and videos, was sent through a special communication channel between the control center and the module which allowed instant contact with Earth.

Deng Yibing, chief engineer of the astronaut training center, said conditions inside the orbiter were comfortable, with the temperature at 22 to 23 degrees Celsius and humidity at 40 percent.
