State media say a spacecraft carrying China's first female astronaut and two male crew mates has made a planned change in its orbit en route to docking with an experimental module. State television says the Shenzhou 9 made the first of five planned changes in its orbit early Sunday. The capsule is to dock Monday with the Tiangong 1 module 343 kilometers (213 miles) above Earth. The Shenzhou 9 was launched Saturday in China's most ambitious space mission yet. State media say Liu Yang, an air force pilot who is China's first female space traveler, commander Jing Haipeng and crew mate Liu Wang will spend at least 10 days in space.
