Shenzhou 10 was launched into an elliptical parking orbit, and the spacecraft will fire thrusters in a few hours to circularize its orbit, a crucial step in its rendezvous with the Tiangong 2 lab module in about two days.
17:08
Liftoff officially occurred at 2330:31 GMT (7:30:31 p.m. EDT; 7:30:31 a.m. Beijing time), according to Chinese state media reports.
16:59
General Zhang Youxia, chief commander of China's human spaceflight program has declared today's launch a success.
"According to the report of the Beijing Central Control Center, the rocket is flying according to its original plan, and the Shenzhou spacecraft has entered into its preliminary orbit," Zhang said. "The solar panel has been unfolded, and the crew is in great condition. Hereby, iIannounce the launch of the Shenzhou 11 manned spacecraft is a complete success."

The electricity-generating solar panels on the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft have extended.
16:43 Shenzhou 11 separation
The Shenzhou 11 spacecraft has separated from the Long March rocket in orbit.
16:40
T+plus 8 minutes, 15 seconds. The main engine on the second stage of the Long March rocket has shut down.
16:37
Radar trackers indicate the rocket is traveling down the expected flight path.
16:35
T+plus 3 minutes, 45 seconds. The protective aerodynamic fairing covering the Shenzhou 10 spacecraft has jettisoned now that the rocket is out of the lower atmosphere.
16:35
T+plus 2 minutes, 50 seconds. The Long March rocket's first stage and four liquid-fueled boosters have jettisoned and the second stage is now firing.
16:35
T+plus 2 minutes. The escape tower has jettisoned as planned.
16:31 Liftoff
Liftoff of the Long March 2F rocket with the Shenzhou 11 mission, sending Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong on a 33-day expedition in orbit.
16:28
T-minus 2 minutes. This is China's sixth human spaceflight. It follows previous crewed Shenzhou flights in 2003, 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2013.
16:27
T-minus 4 minutes. The astronauts are configuring their spacesuits for launch, closing their visors, and ensuring they have a good pressure seal.
16:26
T-minus 5 minutes. All systems are reported to working well at this stage in the countdown.
16:22
The launch team has announced the official launch time as 2330:28 GMT (7:30:28 p.m. EDT; 7:30:28 a.m. Beijing time).
16:21
T-minus 9 minutes. The Shenzhou 11 spacecraft's destination is the Tiangong 2 space lab orbiting 244 miles (393 kilometers) above Earth. The mission is supposed to last 33 days.
16:15
T-minus 15 minutes. Workers will soon evacuate the launch pad and fall back to a safe position for liftoff.
16:08
The weather conditions are reported favorable at the launch site, where the sun is about to rise and temperatures are hovering around 43 degrees Fahrenheit.
16:02
Some statistics on today's launch:
13th launch of a Long March 2F rocket
11th Shenzhou mission
6th human spaceflight launched by China
3rd spaceflight by Jing Haipeng
1st spaceflight by Chen Dong
15th Chinese space launch of 2016
