JIUQUAN, (China), Oct 13 (AFP): Astronauts on China's second manned space flight conducted experiments and tested their life support systems Thursday as the second day of the mission was beamed to an entranced public.
All systems on Shenzhou VI were working normally after a successful launch into orbit from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Inner Mongolia on Wednesday, a spokesman at the mission control centre in Beijing said.
"The astronauts will carry out many space-based scientific experiments, including movement experiments inside the craft, work efficiency tests and the testing of the environmental control and life support systems inside the craft," the spokesman said in a statement.
