BEIJING, 0ct. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- The dual Chinese crew aboard the Shenzhou-6
spacecraft have moved to each other's capsule about 11 hours after the lift-off
on Wednesday morning.
Astronaut Fei Junlong has entered the re-entry capsule, from which he moved
to the orbital module nearly three hours ago -- thefirst for China since the
Shenzhou-5 manned flight in 2003.
Nie, in exchange, has moved to the orbital module.
The move across capsules in spacecraft, the first of its kind undertaken by
Chinese astronauts in space since the launch of the manned Shenzhou-5 in 2003,
enables the crew, on China's second manned space mission, to shake off heavy
space suit and conduct experiments and scientific research in work clothes.
