China may send its first woman into space next year as part of a programme to build a space station by 2020, the official Xinhua news agency said Monday.
The announcement came as China said it would launch an unmanned space craft, the Shenzhou VIII, early Tuesday to carry out the country’s first ever space docking with a module that is already orbiting the earth.
