神舟9号预计于6月中旬发射

按照原有计划，运载神舟9号飞船的火箭已被运往发射台，预期将于6月中旬发射。这意味着神舟9号的使命已进入最后阶段。未来几天将在发射台测试火箭和神舟9号的性能。去年发射的无人太空舱天宫1号现在运行正常。

The rocket carrying the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft has been taken to its launch pad, according to the original plan, and is scheduled to take-off in mid June.

The move means Shenzhou 9 mission is entering its final stage. A test of the rocket and Shenzhou 9 will be carried out on the launch pad in the next few days. The unmanned capsule, Tiangong 1, launched last year, is now operating well, and has lowered itself into a docking orbit. Shenzhou 9 will carry astronauts to dock with Tiangong 1 as part of China’s plan to launch a manned space center.
