本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国在太空探索方面取得的一系列成就。
On October 12, 2005, China launched its second manned spaceship, Shenzhou VI, sending two spacemen into space. It was the second time that our country had sent up manned spaceship after Shenzhou V. China has become the third country to send spacemen to space after the Soviet Union and the USA.
Shenzhou VI lifted off on a Long March 2F rocket from Jiuquan, Gansu Province. Two spacemen Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng traveled around the earth 80 times in 115 hours and 32 minutes and landed safely in the Inner Mongolian grasslands on October 17, 2005.
The spaceship has three modules （飞船舱）：the orbital module where scientific experiments like testing space foods and drinks are done, the re-entry capsule where the spacemen spent most of their time and the service module, which has fuel, air and other technical equipments in it.
Unlike Yang Liwei’s space trip two years ago, Fei and Nie went up and down between the modules for scientific experiments. For the first time, they took off their space suits and moved around in the modules freely. From space, Fei and Nie could make long-distance calls to their families at the launch center. Nie’s daughter even sang “Happy Birthday” to her Dad during the phone call.
Our country launched Shenzhou VII at 21:10 on September 25th, 2008. On 27th, the spaceman Zhai Zhigang finished China’s first space walk. China has become the third country to walk in space. June 11, 2013 was another big day for Chinese space exploration. Shenzhou X, China’s fifth manned spacecraft, was sent into space. Three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, 49, Zhang Xiaoguang, 47, and Wang Yaping, 33, stayed in space for 15 days. The Shenzhou XI manned spacecraft was launched at 7:30 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China on October 17, 2016, carrying two astronauts—50-year-old Jing Haipeng and 38-year-old Chen Dong. China is planning to build its space station about in 2022.
2005年10月12日，中国发射了第二艘载人飞船“神舟六号”，将两名宇航员送入太空。这是继“神舟五号”之后我国第二次发射载人飞船。中国已成为继苏联和美国之后第三个将航天员送上太空的国家。
“神舟六号”是在甘肃酒泉用长征二号F型运载火箭发射的。2005年10月17日，两名宇航员费俊龙和聂海胜在绕地球飞行80次，飞行时间达115小时32分钟后，安全降落在内蒙古草原上。
宇宙飞船有三个飞船舱：轨道舱，用来进行科学实验，如测试太空食品和饮料；返回舱，宇航员大部分时间都在那里度过；推进舱，里面有燃料、空气和其他技术设备。
与两年前杨利伟的太空之旅不同，费俊龙和聂海胜在飞船舱之间来回穿梭做科学实验。这是他们第一次脱掉太空服，自由地在各舱内移动。费俊龙和聂海胜还可以从太空给在发射中心的家人打长途电话。聂海胜的女儿甚至在电话中给她的爸爸唱了一首《生日快乐》歌。
我国于2008年9月25日21点10分发射了“神舟七号”。27日，宇航员翟志刚完成了中国的第一次太空行走。中国已经成为第三个在太空行走的国家。2013年6月11日是中国太空探索的又一个重要日子。中国第五艘载人飞船“神舟十号”被送入太空。三名宇航员分别是49岁的聂海胜、47岁的张晓光和33岁的王亚平，他们在太空中待了15天。“神舟十一号”载人飞船于2016年10月17日7点30分在中国西北的酒泉卫星发射中心发射，共搭载两名宇航员，他们是50岁的景海鹏和38岁的陈冬。中国计划在2022年建造自己的太空站。
