Shenzhou VI

　　The trip for Shenzhou VI, China's second manned space flight to be launched next year, is scheduled to last five to seven days, said Wang Yongzhi, chief designer of China's manned space program.

　　Two astronauts were expected to fly in Shenzhou VI, China's CCTV quoted Wang as saying. The design resembles that of Shenzhou V, but this time, the astronauts will step into the orbital module and conduct various experiments there.

　　The astronaut team started training for the Shenzhou VI flight in March, Wang said. The team includes Yang Liwei, who successfully completed China's first manned space flight last October.
