began in 1956. We launched our first satellite, Dongfanghong-1, in 1970. Space flight started with the launch of Shenzhou-1.
Host: Could you tell us more about the Shenzhou spacecraft?
Dr Li: Shenzhou-1 was China's first unmanned flight. It was launched in 1999. Three more launches followed. The manned missions of Shenzhou-5, 6, and 7 took place in 2003, 2005, and 2008. And in 2012, the first female(女性的) Chinese astronaut went into space in Shenzhou-9.
Host: So, China's first astronaut was sent into space in Shenzhou-5?
Dr Li: Yes. It took the first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space.
Host: I've heard another famous name, Tiangong-1. Could you tell us something about it?
Dr Li: It was another great achievement in 2011 that showed China's ability to build space stations.
Host: Wow! China's space technology has advanced quickly over the past years.
Dr Li: Yes. Chinese scientists have put a lot of effort into the space programme and never given up. Without the hard work of all the great scientists in the space programme, we would never have succeeded.
