Shenzhou-18 crew return to Earth after successful six-month mission in space
The three astronauts of China's Shenzhou-18 crewed spaceflight mission returned to Earth safely on Monday after completing their mission aboard the country's Tiangong space station.
The return capsule, carrying astronauts Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu, touched down at the Dongfeng Landing Site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at 01:24 (Beijing Time), according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
Shenzhou-18 commander Ye Guangfu, who now holds the longest duration of stay in orbit among Chinese astronauts, was the first of the three crew members to emerge from the return capsule.
