The Shenzhou-7 space crew will touchdown in Hong Kong December 5 for a four-day visit.

 

The 40-strong delegation includes astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng, along with the commanders or designers of the mission's major engineering systems.

 

The delegation will attend a welcoming dinner hosted by the Hong Kong Government at the Convention & Exhibition Centre to meet members from various community sectors.

 

On December 6 the delegation will open the Exhibition on China's First Spacewalk Mission at the Science Museum, which will run until December 15. It will feature valuable exhibits like the Shenzhou-7 re-entry capsule, the astronauts' spacesuits and the national flag displayed during the spacewalk.

 

The delegation will then meet tertiary students and brief them on the mission, spacewalk technology and China's aerospace science development. The next day they will tour the harbour before attending a variety show in their honour at the Hong Kong Stadium.

 

On December 8 they will attend a dialogue session with local primary and secondary students at Queen Elizabeth Stadium before attending a farewell ceremony at Government House and departing for Macau.
