China launches spacewalk mission
The latest launch is seen as a key step for China's ambitious space programme

China has launched a rocket with three astronauts into space on a mission that
will include the country's first ever spacewalk.
The mission blasted off from a remote launch site in the Jiuquan space centre
in China's northwestern Gansu province on Thursday night.
The three-day journey into space is being touted as another giant leap for
China's ambitious space programme, which has plans to build a space station and
eventually put Chinese astronauts on the moon.
Two astronauts will complete the spacewalk, and they will be supported by
Russian experts throughout the mission.
The flight on board the Shenzhou VII spacecraft is only China's third manned
spaceflight, but it is the first to carry the capsule's full complement of
three astronauts.
The rocket was blasted into orbit atop a Long March II-F rocket, considered the
workhorse of China's rocket fleet, and is projected to return to Earth on
Sunday in the sparsely populated region of Inner Mongolia.
China launched its first man into space in October 2003, making it only the
third country - after the US and Russia - capable of independently launching
humans into space.
That launch saw the pioneer astronaut, Yang Liwei, rocketing from a nobody to
the status of instant national hero, appearing at a series of major events and
acting as one of the torch bearers in the relay ahead of the Beijing Olympic
games in August.
'It's politics'
Political analysts say China's communist leaders have been keen to use the
country's achievements in space as a demonstration of economic and
technological progress under their rule.
"It's all about politics," Dr Morris Jones, an Australia-based space analyst
who has closely followed China's space programme, told Al Jazeera.
He said the launch had been timed to "capitalise on the success and publicity
surrounding their recent hosting of the Olympic games".
"This is something that has historical meaning and is a glorious mission for us"

Shenzhou VII astronaut
The latest launch also comes at a politically significant time, with the
government eager to rally national pride amid a spiralling health scandal over
contaminated milk.
Among those at the launch site to witness the rocket lift-off is Xi Jingping,
China's vice-president and the man widely seen as a top candidate to become
China's leader when power shifts hands in four years' time.
Also on hand will be a team of Russian experts, offering advice and assistance
during the spacewalk.
The walk - known formally as an Extravehicular Activity (EVA) - is the focal
point for the Shenzhou VII mission.
It is expected to take place on Friday or Saturday and will be conducted by
Zhai Zhigang, a 42-year-old colonel in the Chinese air force.
'Glorious mission'
Zhai's EVA is being seen as a key step in China's plans to build an orbiting
space station during future missions by linking up various components launched
separately from Earth.

It is an extremely risky endeavour, with only a few layers of multi-million
dollar spacesuit protecting Zhai from the deadly vacuum of space as he travels
at more than seven kilometres a second around the Earth.
But speaking earlier this week Zhai said more than 10 years of training had
prepared him to undertake the mission.
"This is something that has historical meaning and is a glorious mission for
us," he told reporters in a pre-launch press conference.
"As an astronaut, it is the greatest honour to represent our country and go
into space."
