Having extended the record of the longest taikonaut stay on a single flight mission in space to 90 days, the Shenzhou-12 crew returned to Earth four days before China’s Mid-Autumn Festival, a day of family reunions and friendly gatherings, at the Dongfeng Landing Site in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on September 17.
The first manned flight during the construction of China’s space station proved a complete success, announced the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The task was a great step forward in getting the Tiangong space station ready, Brad Tucker, an astrophysicist and cosmologist with Australian National University, told Xinhua News Agency.
“The taikonauts space station for full operation, with multiple spacewalks and upgrades,” he said.
