BEIJING, September 28 (Itar-Tass) - The crew of the third Chinese manned spaceship Zhenzhou-7 have successfully completed their mission, during which the spacewalk, the first in the country’s history, was made by cosmonaut Zhai Zhigang.

The return capsule of the spaceship smoothly landed on Sunday in the steppe of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Chinese Prime Minister Wan Jiabao watched the landing from the Beijing mission control centre.

Central television reported during the landing operation that the cosmonauts’ feelings were good. The search group on cross-country vehicles is rushing to the landing place of the descent capsule. All this process is telecast alive.

Shenzhou-7 blasted off from a cosmodrome in northwestern China. The spaceship was lifted off during the second stage of space explorations.

The first stage included the launchings of manned spaceships Shenzhou-5 in 2003 and Zhenzhou-6 in 2005. China does not conceal its ambitions in space explorations. Beijing intends in future to dock spaceships, to create a laboratory in space and then to make its own space station in future.
