Editor's Note: Today marks the third China Space Day. Here we present carrier rockets, spacecraft and satellites sent into space by China in recent years. The main launcher prepares to send the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft into space at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Jiuquan city, Northwest China's Gansu province, on June 13, 2012. After launch, Shenzhou-9 would dock with China's first space lab, Tiangong-1. [Photo/VCG]
