神舟七号太空船计划于本月25号发射升空，而3个正选太空人已经确定了。有消息说，最有可能进行中国航天首次太空漫步的是曾经2次入选神舟计划的航天员翟志刚。

　　神舟七号太空船3名正选太空人包括入选过神五及神六计划的翟志刚、以及2名也曾经入选过神六的队友刘伯明与景海鹏。

　　Zhai Zhigang, a reserve for the Shenzhou V and VI missions, is poised to become China's first spacewalker, reports have said.

　　Three 42-year-old astronauts - Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng - have been selected to carry out the country's third manned space mission, which will last from Sept 25-28, according to China.com.cn.

　　The most likely takeoff time for Shenzhou VII is 9:10 pm on Sept 25, the website said.

　　Shenzhou freshman Chen Quan leads the backup crew, which also includes Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng. Fei and Nie were both onboard Shenzhou VI three years ago.

　　Upon the spaceship's entry into orbit a scheduled 582 seconds after liftoff, Jing will remain in the descent module while Zhai and Liu will move to the vacuum orbital module. Zhai is expected to conduct a 40-minute spacewalk between Sept 26 and Sept 27, with Liu as his substitute.
