Shenzhou-10 Spacecraft Returns to Earth


 


The three astronauts aboard the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft have now come out of the return capsule.


All appear to be in good physical condition and in good spirits.


One of the astronauts, Nie Haisheng has set a record amount of time in space for Chinese astronauts, logging more than 470 hours over two missions.


The return capsule of the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft successfully returned to earth earlier this morning after 15 days in orbit.


While in orbit, the three astronauts completed two docking tests with the Tiangong-1 experimental space lab.


Astronauts also gave a special lecture to students on earth for the first time in China's space exploration.


Meanwhile, the Tiangong-1 space lab has been officially retired 1.


Tiangong-1 was first put into orbit in 2011, and played host to a total of 6-Chinese astronauts.


The space lab is being put into a higher orbit.


The Tiangong-1 lab was developed as a training platform for the eventual-Chinese space station, which is due to be built by 2020.
