Shenzhou 6

Shenzhou 6 (Simplified Chinese: 神舟六号) was the second human spaceflight of the People's Republic of China, launched on 12 October 2005 on a Long March rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The Shenzhou spacecraft carried a crew of Fèi Jùnlóng (费俊龙) and Niè Hǎishèng (聂海胜) for five days in low Earth orbit. It launched a few days before the second anniversary of China's first human spaceflight, Shenzhou 5.

The crew were able to change out of their new lighter space suits, conduct scientific experiments, and enter the orbital module for the first time, giving them access to toilet facilities. The exact activities of the crew were kept secret but thought to include military reconnaissance. It landed in the Siziwang Banner of Inner Mongolia on 16 October 2005, the same site as the previous manned and unmanned Shenzhou flights.
