China's second manned space flight Shenzhou VI will take off in September this year and stay in orbit for five days.
Two astronauts are expected to be involved in the mission.
A Long March II F carrier rocket, which will launch space capsule, is currently being produced.
After the assembly work is completed in July, the Shenzhou 6 capsule and other components will be sent to a designated launch pad to prepare for the flight.
Yang Liwei successfully completed China's first manned space flight in October 2003.
