　　Shenzhou IX, carrying female astronautLiu Yang and male astronauts Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang, blasted off from the Jiuquan SatelliteLaunch Center in Gansu province into a blue sky.

　　The crew will stay in space for more than 10 days, during which time they will perform scientific experiments and the country"s first manual space docking - a highly technical procedure that brings two vessels together in high-speed orbit.

　　Successful completion of the space rendezvousand docking - which will see Shenzhou IX attach itself to the Tiangong-1 modulecurrently orbiting Earth - will take China one step nearer to setting up its own space station in 2020.

　　At the Beijing Aerospace Control Center on Saturday, hundreds of scientists monitored and reported the spacecraft"s status every few seconds. Big screens showed the three astronauts smiling and waving at the monitoring camera when the carrier rocket blasted off.

　　At 6:47 pm, Shenzhou IX entered its orbit. Chang Wanquan, chief commander of the country's manned space program, announced that the lift-off had been a complete success.
