The Shenzhou-13 was launched on a Long March rocket with great fanfare from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.

They include the second mission for Wang Yaping, the teacher who gave the first lesson in space to 60 million viewers in China. She said she would also be teaching another lesson from space on this, her second tour, as well as going on a space walk.
