　　Astronaut aboard the Shenzhou-7 spacecraft, China's third manned spaceship, began to unpack and assemble the indigenous Feitian extra-vehicular activity (EVA) suit at 10:20 a.m. Friday in preparation for the first spacewalk.

　　As of 11:51 a.m., the spaceship which blasted off at 9:10 p.m. Thursday at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern Gansu Province, has made 11 orbits around the earth as scheduled.

　　Physical conditions of the three astronauts who are in duty shift, all stay normal.

　　Zhai Zhigang and Liu Boming took on assembling in the orbital module while Jing Haipeng stayed in the re-entry module to keep an eye on the vessel operation.

　　Feitian, which literally means flying the sky, has 10 layers and weighs about 120 kilograms. The domestically-made suit costs 30 million yuan (about 4.4 million U.S. dollars), and takes up to 15 hours for astronaut to assemble and put on.
