Shenzhou 10 (Mandarin Chinese: 神舟十号 ''Shénzhōu shíhào'') was a manned spaceflight of China's Shenzhou program that was launched on 11 June 2013. It was China's fifth manned space mission.〔 news.China.COM.cn, ("专访十八大代表牛红光：神十将于明年6月发射" ), 新闻中心-中国网, ''10 November 2012''〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chinese spacecraft blasts off with 3 astronauts )〕 The mission had a crew of three astronauts: Nie Haisheng, who was mission commander and previously flew on Shenzhou 6, Zhang Xiaoguang, a former PLAAF squadron commander who conducted the rendezvous and docking, and Wang Yaping, the second Chinese female astronaut. The Shenzhou spacecraft docked with the Tiangong-1 trial space laboratory module on 13 June,〔(Chinese spacecraft blasts off from Gobi desert ) The Guardian, 2013-06-11.〕 and the astronauts performed physical, technological, and scientific experiments while on board. Shenzhou 10 was the final mission to Tiangong 1 in this portion of the Tiangong program. On 26 June 2013, after a series of successful docking tests, Shenzhou 10 returned to Earth. ==Preparations== Prior to the reboost of Tiangong 1 on 30 August 2012, it was projected that a launch window would open between late November and December 2012, when Tiangong-1's orbit had decayed to the level of a Shenzhou's standard orbit. With the reboost, it was expected that the orbital decay would bring Tiangong-1 within reach again in late January, so the Shenzhou 10 mission was anticipated for late January or February 2013.〔SpaceDaily, ("Tiangong Orbit Change Signals Likely Date for Shenzhou 10" ), Robert Christy, ''4 September 2012''〕 At the 2012 Communist Party of China Leadership Congress, a space official stated that Shenzhou 10 was planned for the period between June and August 2013.〔ScienceDaily, ("China to launch new manned spaceship in 2013: Xinhua" ), Reuters, ''10 November 2012'' (accessed 2012-11-11)〕 It is the fifth manned mission of the Shenzhou programme, coming ten years after the original, Shenzhou 5. From 2012 November onwards, a feed of information ensued, including a desire for the crew to have a female member and that the actual launch date would be at the beginning of the June–August period. Knowledge of the conditions that China sets for launch windows for its piloted spacecraft allowed the likely launch date to be calculated as somewhere in the period between 7–13 June. Xinhua published an item from the Beijing Times that summed up the aims of the mission, and included the information that Wang Yaping was the only female trainee in the group of astronaut candidates.〔Xinhua (in Chinese), ("Shenzhou 10 Arrived at Jiuquan for Launch June-August, Yaping is the Only Female Astronaut Candidate" ), ''Beijing Times'', ''1 April 2013''〕 Wang Yaping was announced to be the one of the crew in April 2013, the only member of the crew revealed until June, when the rest of the crew was revealed. The crew of Shenzhou 10 previously served as the backup crew to Shenzhou 9. With Nie Haisheng's elevation to General, this marked the first instance that China would launch a flag officer into space, after they had become a general officer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shenzhou 10」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
