http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5gFRHosWQiII527g2xfaK-D89y2kg

Background:

This is the third China's manned spaceflight. Currently it is scheduled for launch on Oct 12.
But reports emerged that the launch will be moved up, sometimes between Sept 17 and the end of the month.
Three "taikonauts" or astronauts will be on board the flight, with one of them conducting China's first space walk.
China successfully launched its first man, Yang Liwei, into orbit in 2003, making it the third country after the former Soviet Union and the United States to put a man in space.
It sent two more astronauts into orbit in 2005 on a five-day mission.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
