Chinese astronaut enters space orbiter for first time

Astronaut Jing Haipeng opened the hatch and floated into the cabin of space lab module Tiangong-1 Monday afternoon, becoming the first Chinese to enter an orbiter in space.

China's first female astronaut Liu Yang stayed in the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft while her two male crew mates Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang entered the Tiangong-1 space lab module.
