A Chinese astronaut has completed his country's first ever spacewalk.
Chinese state media broadcast live images of the event, as mission commander Zhai Zhigang floated out of the Shenzou 7 spaceship, and delivered a greeting back home. The 15-minute spacewalk makes China the third nation to complete such a mission independently, after The United States and former Soviet Union. The voyage was China's third manned mission into space, and is considered an important step in the country' ambition to build a space station.
