Meet the Shenzhou family, China’s independently-designed spacecraft (9)

Three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, Zhang Xiaoguang and Wang Yaping, were sent into space on Shenzhou X on June 11, 2013, returning on June 26. The team entered Tiangong-1 and achieved automatic and manual docking between the two spacecraft. That mission also facilitated the first lesson taught in space and a series of other medical and technological experiments.
