NOTES:
- This addon features only the first six flights of the Shenzhou program from 1999 to 2006, where its design is vastly different than its modern counterpart, as the orbital module has extra solar arrays and had no docking port installed.
- The model is created by modifying the Shenzhou from Sirius_Alpha's Tiangong Space Station addon and replacing its orbital module with Jack Higgins' Shenzhou 5 addon
- A separate addon for Shenzhou 7 is currently being co-developed with Sirius_Alpha!
