Chinese Taikonauts Safely Land Back on Earth from Tiangong Space Station

A flawless landing of Shenzhou-14 with three taikonauts took place this morning, in the Gobi Desert in northern China. Their capsule orbited the Earth five times, before starting re-entry.

The crew completed their tour of duty on China’s Tiangong space station which lasted 183 days, with honors and praise. They were replaced by three fresh taikonauts arrived on Shenzhou-15 on Nov. 29. The accomplishments of the Shenzhou-14 crew included securing the connections of the modules that configure the station, conducting science experiments, including some that weren’t pre-planned, giving lectures to Earth and making videos.(https://www.space.com/shenzhou-14-china-space-station-photos )
