We are planning to launch nine satellites this year. The first one, a scientific experimental satellite, will blast off at the end of April.

Shenzhou-6 is set to blast off in September, or October basically.

China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co. will step up the application of aerospace technology in civil projects.

Reliability index of the rocket has been improved to 0.97 and the safety index of astronauts to 0.997.

As an astronaut, especially during launch, half of the risk of a six-month flight is in the first nine minutes.

What we're doing is fusing together images through the use of multiple satellites. Each satellite has its own view of the Earth, and we're piecing many of them together for a more complete picture.
