On June 16, 2012, Liu Yang’s dream came true—she became the first Chinese woman astronaut(宇航员).

She was sent to space with two other Chinese astronauts Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang in Shenzhou-9 spacecraft(飞船). They were going to meet with Tiangong-1. At the same time, they would be doing many important experiments in space.

Liu Yang is 33 years old. She was interested in flying when she was young. She worked hard at her studies in high school and entered an aviation(航空) school. She then joined the PLA Air Force(空军) in 1997. After flying safely for 1, 680 hours, she was chosen to be an astronaut in 2010.
