There is some info on the size of the various modules that make up the Shenzhou spacecraft. Info from here http://www.spacedaily.com/news/china-02zf.html Orbital Module The module is 2.8 meters long with a diameter of 2.25 meters Descent Module 2.059 meters long with the largest diameter at the base at 2.5 meters Propulsion Module 2.94 meters long with the widest diameter of 2.8 meters So the orbital module would appear approx 0.59 arc seconds in length and 0.47 arc seconds in diameter if view at a range of 1000 KM. Since the orbital module and propulsion module are join together Then Combined they would appear approx 1.21 arc seconds in length, and 1.13 arc seconds in width at a range of 1000 KM. Interesting, even if I can't see detail on them.
