Last month, China successfully implemented the second manned space mission on the Shenzhou VI, and is currently developing a series of new spacecraft from Shenzhou VII to Shenzhou X.

The Shenzhou VII will bring three astronauts into space, expected to be launched within the next two years. Meanwhile, the Shenzhou VIII and IX ships only carry equipment for the plan to set up an orbiting space station. The Shenzhou X will carry out the mission of bringing people to research on space stations.

The Beijing News said China is also building a rocket that can carry 25 tons of cargo into space.

China made the first manned flight into space in 2003 on the Shenzhou V, bringing China into a group of countries capable of bringing people into space. China has been starting its ambitious space program with just enough money: the cost of the entire Shenzhou program is about $ 2.3 billion, a small number compared to 16. billion USD of US Space Agency (NASA) only in 2005.
