[edit] Abstract

While the fights of the habitable Shen Zhou spacecraft have attracted much interest, which culminated with the flight of Yang Liwei in Shenzhou-5 on October 15-16, 2003, the scientific payloads of the autonomous-flying Shen Zhou Orbital Module have been rarely described. This paper discusses Earth science and space science payloads carried by the Shen Zhou Orbital Modules, with particular emphasis on Shenzhou-2, for which several instruments and results have been described in detail. Moreover, a cancelled Chinese astronomical satellite of the early 1980s is described for the first time.
