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.
