An engineering model of a manned Chinese Shenzhou re-entry capsule on display at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) museum in Beijing, China. The re-entry capsule is 2m high, in diameter and has a habitable volume of 6m3; the orbital module of the Shenzhou, which is very similar in design to the Russian Soyuz, would be docked to the top of this module.
