China’s Shenzhou-16 spaceship, atop a Long March-2F carrier rocket, blasts off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China yesterday, sending three astronauts to the country’s space station combination for a five-month mission. About 10 minutes after the launch, Shenzhou-16 separated from the rocket and entered its designated orbit. The crew members are in good shape and the launch is a complete success, according to the China Manned Space Agency.                                 Xinhua
