Shenzhou-8, an unmanned spacecraft, and its carrier, Long March 2-F, are transported to the launch pad at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China's Gansu province on Wednesday. It will take off early next month and is expected to perform China's first space docking with Tiangong-1, a lab module that went up in September from the same facility.
