[EXCERPTS]

The state Xinhua news agency announced that Shenzhou II blasted off from
Jiuquan in northwest China with a number of unidentified animals, and
entered a preset orbit.

With ignition, "the rocket booster roared, took off and sped into the sky,
while ejecting dazzling flames. It was 01:00 hours (Beijing time)."

"At 01:10 hours, the rocket booster separted from the spacecraft as Shenzhou
II entered the preset orbit, beginning its space voyage," Xinhua said.
