News Report:talk about
Shenzhou 5 and 6
• SZ-6 lands safely after successful
mission
BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- The reentry capsule of China's Shenzhou-6
spacecraft, carrying taikonauts Fei
Junlong and Nie Haisheng, landed on
earth safely at 4:33 a.m. Monday following
a successful five-day flight two years after
China put the first Chinese national flag in
space.
Today Wu Bangguo, one of the state top
leaders, welcomed the astronauts himself
and said it was the most important time in
China’s space technology development and
its space experiments with human.
Astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng
were given a clean bill of health after the reentry capsule of their Shenzhou VI
spacecraft back to Earth on a parachute,
ending up in Inner Mongolia.
They landed just one kilometer away from
the present spot after a 115-hour-and-32minute spaceflight, which was more than five
times that of China’ first manned spaceflight
two years ago.
Some questions:
1. When did Chinese send up Shenzhou 5
and 6?
2. Where did Shenzhou 6 land?
3. How many Chinese have already been
into space since Shenzhou 5?
4. How long was the spaceflight for
Shenzhou 6 ? What about Shenzhou 5?
5. Who was sent into space in Shenzhou 6?
Are Chinese very proud of them? Why?
Discussion in groups:
• Why do people send up manmade satellites or spacecraft
into space?
• If you are interested in space
and you want to be a scientist
on space, what should you do
now?
