Chinese Shenzhou Rocket Spacecraft

Shenzhou is China’s crewed-spacecraft family, developed to carry astronauts into orbit and support the country’s human-spaceflight program. Its first crewed mission in 2003 made China the third country independently to launch a person into space. Later missions added rendezvous, docking, and support for orbital stations. The spacecraft is distinct from its launch rocket: a Shenzhou capsule and a Long March launcher are related parts of a mission, not a single interchangeable vehicle or a military missile with a combat-service record.

Its orbital and propulsion modules support missions beyond a simple up-and-down capsule flight. Rendezvous procedures and docking equipment allowed Shenzhou crews to work with Chinese orbital laboratories and the later permanent space station.
