BEIJING - China plans to launch Shenzhou X spacecraft in early June 2013, a lead space program official said here Saturday.

Like in the Shenzhou IX mission, the crew might include two men astronauts and a woman, who are scheduled to enter the Tiangong-1 space lab module, Niu Hongguang, deputy commander-in-chief of China's manned space program, said on the sidelines of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
