參考答案:Shenzhou 6 (Chinese: 神舟六号) is the second human spaceflight of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and launched 12 October 2005 on a Long March rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The Shenzhou spacecraft is currently in low Earth orbit with a crew of Fèi Jùnlóng (费俊龙) and Niè Hǎishèng (聂海胜). The crew are able to change out of their new lighter space suits, conduct scientific experiments, and have entered the orbital module for the first time, giving them access to toilet facilities. Although initially announced as being five days in length, unnamed sources have said the mission could end a day earlier, landing around 22:00 UTC on 15 October[1], probably in the banner of Siziwang in Inner Mongolia, the same as the previous manned and unmanned Shenzhou flights.
Shenzhou-6 able to return in emergency at any time: chief designer
BEIJING, 10/14 - China`s second manned spacecraft, Shenzhou-6, is able to return in emergency at any time before the launch and during its flight as experts have worked out more than 150 countermeasures to cope with emergencies, a chief designer said here Friday.
Before the launch, the two taikonauts, or astronauts, aboard Shenzhou-6 can use the escape tower atop the carrier rocket or the high-speed lift or slideway to evacuate from the craft if any serious failure is detected, said Zhang Shuting, chief designer of the emergency and rescue system.
From lift-off to orbiting in space, eight rescue modes are designed when the craft flies in or outside the Earth aerosphere. The craft will have an emergency landing on Chinese land under the first five modes and somewhere on the sea east to China under the sixth mode.
The seventh mode allows the craft to return once it enters the preset orbit and land in the southwestern province of Sichuan, and the eighth will ensure the space vehicle to return to the primary landing area in Inner Mongolian, north China, after a one-day space flight.
One third of the software on board is designed for emergency rescue at times of failure such as power failure, module decompression, fire and temperature control fault
China Keeps Reaching for the Stars
Second Manned Flight Keeps Country in Elite Group of Space-Faring Nations

With Wednesday’s launch of Shenzhou 6, China’s Communist leadership has won new prestige for its homegrown space program, putting its second crewed spacecraft into Earth orbit and doing it two years after the first one -- a bit more quickly than the U.S. space shuttle has managed recently.
Shenzhou 6 and its two astronauts could land as early as today or as late as next Tuesday, according to reports from government news outlets. But regardless of duration, the flight marks a major milestone for a program that has survived the Cultural Revolution and U.S. trade sanctions to make China only the third nation on Earth to develop the full range of skills needed to put humans in space. "China, once again, has demonstrated that it is among the elite number of countries capable of human space flight," NASA Administrator Michael D. Griffin said in a statement. "We wish them well on their mission, and we look forward to the safe return of their astronauts.
Several experts agree that China has little chance of matching the United States in space anytime soon, but Shenzhou 6 is about aspirations as much as attainments. Whether China will ultimately become a U.S. competitor in space, a collaborator or both remains an open question.
"China in space represents a different situation from any other country, because it has its own space capabilities," said senior analyst Dean Cheng of the Alexandria-based research organization CNA Corp. "China has ensured that it will not be driven from space. Whether we want to compete with them is in our court.
The United States has had an arm’s-length relationship with the Chinese space program for the past five years after imposing restrictions on exports of technology that could be construed as "dual-use": capable also of aiding China’s ballistic missile program. As a result, China recently has relied on itself or on other countries for the space know-how and hardware it needs.
"You can’t start talking about space until you set an overall policy," said John Logsdon, director of George Washington University’s Space Policy Institute. "Our space relationship gets to a basic question of whether the United States tries to contain an emerging China or engage it.
Shenzhou 6, riding atop a Long March 2F rocket, lifted off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Inner Mongolia on Wednesday morning, carrying Fei Junlong, 40, and Nie Haisheng, 41, both colonels in the People’s Liberation Army. The mission, capable of staying up for a week, is expected to end with the descent module parachuting into the Gobi Desert.
The mission follows by almost exactly two years the Shenzhou 5 flight that took China’s first astronaut, PLA Lt. Col. Yang Liwei, into space for 14 orbits lasting 21 1/2 hours on Oct. 15-16, 2003. Yang, now a national hero, was promoted to colonel after the flight.
The Shenzhou spacecraft -- Shenzhou means "Magic Vessel" -- is patterned after Russia’s workhorse Soyuz, currently used to ferry astronauts and supplies to and from the international space station while the U.S. space shuttles are grounded.
