【标题】中国完成首次太空行走
【正文】
北京-中国三个航天员，在昨天成功地完成中国的第一次太空行走后，成功地返回地球。李鹏说这是中国航天历史上“又向前迈出了一大步”的大事件。
这次太空行走的主要目的是测试中国掌握的技术。
指挥官翟志刚唯一的任务，是撷取机架连接到外部的轨道舱。
他呆在外面约13分钟。
在神舟七号安全的降落在中国北部的内蒙古天空晴朗下的草原上后，翟志刚说，“这是一个光荣使命，充满了挑战，圆满地结束了！ ”
“我们为祖国感到骄傲。 ”
国家广播闭路电视显示，宇航员摆脱胶囊，它轻轻地漂下，张开了一个巨大的红色与白色条纹降落伞，并在摄像机前落下，作为庆祝他刚刚结束其68小时的任务。
翟志刚，刘般茗和荆在摄影棚内逗留了大约46分钟，为了适应地球的重力，他们匍匐地爬出狭窄的入口。
体检后，他们被宣布为很健康。
温家宝被访问的时候说“这次访问的成功是一个里程碑;中国航天技术又向前迈出了一步” 。
周六的太空行走，这是现场直播，观看人群聚集在户外电视屏幕上，这个继是北京奥运会结束后的1个月，又一件近一步引发民族自豪感的事件
官方新华社周日进行的北京日报的评论说“翟志刚在太空的一小步是中国民族迈出了历史上的一大步”
在大多数报纸头版的照片，都是翟志刚握着一个中国国旗，他徘徊在神舟七号飞船外面的太空中，照片旁边是中国国家主席胡锦涛和宇航员通电话。
虽然已经成功，可是太空行走在当时认为是没有希望的。
翟志刚，一个41岁的战斗机飞行员，穿过防止火灾报警引发的轨道，他开始太空行走。
载人航天飞行的汪着邀副主任，他承认，失重影响太严重和降压的舱口的打开没有达到预期的那么足够大。
他指出火灾报警传感器恐怕会有故障。
在太空行走的宇航员需要先减压，然后出到轨道舱和脱了中国生产的费用为440万美元的飞天航天服。
根据报告，刘穿了和原来几乎相同的俄罗斯制造的奥兰衣服。
中国的载人航天计划的下一个主要目标，是通过两个神舟轨道模块建立一个太空站，为进入太空铺平了道路
中国也致力于月球探测，并可能试图让一名男子在月球上行走，在未来十年内-可能比美国宇航局的2 020年目标提前重返月球。
在2003年中国发起了第一次载一个人的载人任务，神舟五号，成为继俄罗斯和美国以后，完成载人任务的第三个国家。
这之后，在2005年完成了载两个人的任务。

Monday, September 29, 2008 - Web posted at 7:51:27 AM GMT [size=+1]China completes first space walk [size=-1]BEIJING - Three Chinese astronauts made a jubilant return to Earth yesterday after successfully completing the country's first-ever spacewalk, an event the premier said was "a stride forward" in China's space history. |

[size=-1]The spacewalk was mainly aimed at testing China's mastery of the technology involved. The sole task of mission commander Zhai Zhigang was to retrieve a rack attached to the outside of the orbital module. He remained outside for about 13 minutes. "It was a glorious mission, full of challenges with a successful end," Zhai said after the Shenzhou 7 module landed under clear skies in the grasslands of China's northern Inner Mongolia region. "We feel proud of the motherland." State broadcaster CCTV showed the astronauts emerge from their capsule, which floated gently down under a giant red-and-white-striped parachute, and wave at cameras as they celebrated the end of their 68-hour mission. Zhai, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng stayed inside for about 46 minutes to adapt to Earth's gravity before crawling out of the narrow entrance. They were declared healthy after medical examinations inside the module. "This mission's success is a milestone; a stride forward," Premier Wen Jiabao said at mission control. Saturday's space walk, which was broadcast live and watched by crowds gathered around outdoor television screens, further stoked national pride one month after the close of the Beijing Olympics. "A small step by Zhai Zhigang in space is a big step in the history of the Chinese nation," said a commentary by the official Xinhua News Agency carried Sunday by the Beijing Daily newspaper. On most newspaper front pages were pictures of Zhai clutching a Chinese flag as he hovered in space outside the Shenzhou 7 vessel, alongside photos of Chinese President Hu Jintao on a telephone as he spoke to the astronauts. While successful, the spacewalk wasn't without anxious moments. Zhai, a 41-year-old fighter pilot, appeared to struggle with the hatch and a fire alarm was triggered in the orbiter as he began the space walk. Wang Zhaoyao, deputy director of manned space flight, conceded that the combined effects of weightlessness and depressurisation on the hatch opening operation hadn't been fully anticipated. He blamed a faulty sensor for the fire alarm. The spacewalk required the astronauts to first depressurize and then repressurize the orbital module and proved the effectiveness of Zhai's Feitian space suit, produced by China at a cost of $4.4 million. Liu wore a nearly identical Russian-made Orlan suit, according to the reports. The spacewalk paves the way for assembling a space station from two Shenzhou orbital modules, the next major goal of China's manned spaceflight programme. China is also pursuing lunar exploration and may attempt to land a man on the moon in the next decade - possibly ahead of Nasa's 2020 target date for returning to the moon. China launched its first manned mission, Shenzhou 5, in 2003, becoming only the third country after Russia and the United States to launch a man into space. That was followed by a two-man mission in 2005. Nampa-AP
