China will launch its third manned space mission in late September, state-run news agency Xinhua reports.
The Shenzhou VII flight will feature China's first ever space walk, which will be broadcast live with cameras inside and outside the spacecraft.
Three "yuhangyuan" (astronauts) will blast off on a Long-March II-F rocket sometime between 25 and 30 September.
Previous reports in state media had put the launch in October, possibly during the National Day holiday.
