Space fans have a great opportunity to imagine themselves in a taikonaut seat, thanks to a Shanghai exhibition featuring components from the Shenzhou VII, China's third manned spacecraft and the first to support a space walk.
The Shenzhou VII mission leader Zhai Zhigang has been confirmed to perform a spacewalk, the mission headquarters announced on Saturday afternoon.
Several former US astronauts said that they wish China's upcoming Shenzhou VII mission a success and the crew members the best of luck.
