China's state media said on Sunday that a spacecraft carrying the country's first female astronaut and two male colleagues has made a planned change in its orbit en route to docking with an experimental module.
State television said the Shenzhou 9 made the first of five planned changes in its orbit early on Sunday.
The capsule is to dock on Monday with the Tiangong 1 orbiting module 343 kilometres (213 miles) above Earth.
