Space travel now in a parachute

Traveling to space and returning to earth in a parachute will soon become available for the larger public in China. JHY Space Technology Co Ltd (Space Vision), a Beijing-based company, released China's first ever space parachuting suit on Thursday.

In the next few months, the high-tech company will test related equipment, and recruit more parachuting volunteers to train them.

The first three challengers are an entrepreneur, a champion woman parachutist and an aircraft engineer.
