font size    

The first day's flight of China's second manned spacecraft Shenzhou-6 is satisfying, experts said here on Wednesday night.

Experts summarized characteristics of Shenzhou-6's flight until now after the launching at 9 a.m. on Wednesday morning, noting that the spacecraft enjoyed normal electricity supply and maintained its basic functions after entering the orbit.

The astronauts smoothly completed their actions as planned, such as taking on and off the space suits, opening the capsule doors, eating, drinking and sleeping.

The capability of the spacecraft to shift orbit also stood the test, said the experts controlling Shenzhou-6's flight.

Although everything is smooth so far, all scientific and technological staffs need to be cautious to achieve future tasks, experts said.

On Oct. 13, the two astronauts will be engaged in an anti-disturbance experiment.

Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng will open and close the capsule doors, take on and off their space suits and operate various equipments. They would purposely use more strength to move, so as to test the disturbance of people's movement on the spacecraft.

The two astronauts will also rest in turn, according to experts.
