Shenzhou-5, China's first manned spacecraft, entered the
country's territorial air space Thursday morning, according to a
monitor station at Hotan in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in
northwest China.
On a large screen in the Beijing Aerospace Command and Control
Center, the curve indicating real-time movement of the spaceship
showed the spacecraft was flying over China's territory.
The re-entry capsule of Shenzhou-5 is expected to land somewhere
in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region soon.
