CHINESE SPACE LAUNCH: China's Shenzhou 7 spacecraft carrying a 3-man crew lifted 
off today from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and is now in Earth orbit. 
During the upcoming three-day mission, Chinese astronauts, called taikonauts, 
will launch a small satellite and conduct their country's first space walk. As 
they orbit Earth, Shenzhou 7 and the body of the rocket that launched it will be 
visible to the naked eye from many parts of the globe. Check the Satellite 
Tracker for viewing times: http://spaceweather.com/flybys .
(Note: Frequent checks are recommended; predictions may change as the orbit is 
adjusted and estimates of orbital elements improve.)

Sighting reports and updates will be posted on http://spaceweather.com
