CHINA will launch the Shenzhou-8 spacecraft in early November at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.
The spacecraft is expected to perform China's first space docking with Tiangong-1, or Heavenly Palace-1, a space lab module that was launched in September from the same launch center.
The Shenzhou-8 spacecraft and the carrier rocket, Long March-2F, are being vertically transferred to the launch pad at the center, marking the countdown to the unmanned spacecraft's blast off.
