China's Shenzhou 7 spacecraft carrying a 3-man crew lifted off today
from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and is now in Earth orbit.
During the upcoming three-day mission, Chinese astronauts, called
taikonauts, will launch a small satellite and conduct their country's
first space walk. As they orbit Earth, Shenzhou 7 and the body of the
rocket that launched it will be visible to the naked eye from many
parts of the globe. Check the Satellite Tracker for viewing times: http://spaceweather.com/flybys .
(Note: Frequent checks are recommended; predictions may change as the
orbit is adjusted and estimates of orbital elements improve.)
Sighting reports and updates will be posted on http://spaceweather.com
