Footage has emerged of Shenzhou-11 spacecraft being launched successfully in China.

The video, filmed in Jiuquan, Gansu Province on Monday, shows the crewed spacecraft carried by the Long March-2F carrier rocket blasting off.

Two male astronauts are on board the spacecraft and they will dock the Shenzhou-11 with the Tiangong-2 space lab.

It will reportedly be the longest manned space mission as two astronauts will spend 30 days in the lab.
