For the second time they were Chinese astronauts, taikonauts, in space. In October 2003 it was the first human launch. This time they have been in orbit for five days. The Shenzou VI spacecraft was launched on 12 October and landed in southern Mongolia on the night of 16 October. The flight was a success, although upon landing they had to readjust the route of the boat. The two taikonautas who participated in the mission, Fei Junlong and Nie
Haisheng, are already at home. Its body is 9.25 meters long and 2.8 meters wide. It consists of three modules, the target is the accommodation of the taikonautas and the greys are the capsule of return to the Earth and the propulsion module. It gets the necessary energy from the deployed solar panels.
