China's Shenzhou-17 Crew Successfully Returns to Earth

The astronauts completed a six-month mission aboard the Tiangong space station, marking another milestone in China's expanding space program.

China’s Shenzhou-17 spacecraft returned to Earth on Tuesday, landing in Inner Mongolia with astronauts Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie, and Jiang Xinlin on board.
The crew conducted 84 in-orbit experiments and brought back over 400 material samples from space.
Their mission included two spacewalks to repair damage to the station’s solar arrays and overseeing the arrival of the Tianzhou-7 cargo resupply mission.
The Shenzhou-18 crew has already taken over, continuing scientific work with plans for more than 90 experiments and multiple spacewalks.
China's ambitious space program continues to grow, with plans to expand the Tiangong space station and train new astronauts for future missions.
