China is preparing its systems for a final unmanned test of its shuttle, Shenzhou. If the flight is crowned with success, Western experts say that China will launch manned spacecraft next year. This will make China the third country with the ability to send humans into space.
The Chinese space authorities say that the Shenzhou 4 spacecraft test will take place before the end of the year. This is what Philip Clark, the head of the Mulania space consulting company from the UK, says. "We are going to try everything necessary for a manned flight, and the spacecraft was equipped with everything necessary for a manned flight - except for humans," Clark told Space.com, which reports on this in detail.
The previous test flight - Shenzhou 3 took place on April 1, 2002 from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The spacecraft returned to Earth after a few minutes and was declared technically suitable for astronauts.
China first presented a full-size model of the shuttle Shenzhou in 2000 at a space conference.
