“They will stay in space for 15 days, operating both automated and manual space dockings with the target orbiter Tiangong-1, conducting scientific experiments in the lab module and giving science lectures to spectators on the Earth,” Niu Hongguang said, who is the deputy commander-in-chief of China’s manned space program.
“他们将在太空停留15天，自动和手动操作与目标轨道飞行器‘天宫一号’的空中对接，在模拟实验室进行科学实验以及给地面上的观察员提供科学数据内容。”中国载人航天项目副总司令牛红光说。
In the coming mission, Shenzhou-10 will offer ferrying services of personnel and supplies for Tiangong-1, further testing the astronauts’ abilities of working and living in space, as well as the functions of the lab module, he said.
他说，在接下来的任务中，神舟10号将为天宫一号提供人员和物资的运载服务，进一步考验宇航员在太空中的工作和生活的能力以及测试模拟实验室的功能。
