China will launch its historic third manned space mission in October, a spokesman for the national space agency said yesterday. One member of the crew is expected to become the first Chinese "taikonaut" to conduct a spacewalk - a mission in which the astronaut fully or partially leaves the spacecraft. The vehicle will carry three astronauts. The spacecraft has been named Shenzhou VII, which means "divine vessel" in Mandarin.    (source: english.people.com.cn)
