The 10-day exhibition, running from Saturday to December 15, features the re-entry capsule of the Shenzhou VII spacecraft, spacesuits, the national flag displayed and the gloves worn by the astronauts during the space walk this September.

Other major exhibits include the main parachute of the Shenzhou VII spacecraft, working journals and astronaut backpacks, space food, seeds carried by the spacecraft, models of Shenzhou VII spacecraft and the Long March 2F rocket, and about 100 photos in relation to the space walk mission.

Hundreds of students lined up early in the morning outside the Hong Kong Science Museum, waiting for the exhibition to open.

Due to popular response from the public, about 50,300 of the 66,600 free tickets had been distributed to the public Friday within two hours. A small number of tickets are still available on a first-come-first-served basis at the Science Museum's box office while stock lasts.

The exhibition is organized by the HKSAR government Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the China's Manned Space Engineering Office, in association with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.

The three taikonauts jointly carried out China's historic maiden space walk this September with the Shenzhou VII spacecraft, which means "divine vessels".

During their stay in Hong Kong, the delegation will also meet tertiary students at a seminar at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and brief them on the launch of Shenzhou VII, space walk technology and China's aerospace science development.
