Astronauts “left behind” from Shenzhou 20 mission return to Earth. The official return of Taico astronauts Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie was scheduled for early November, but had to be postponed for the following reasons. Possibility of impact on Amamiya Station due to fragments of space debris. However, after conducting a thorough risk analysis to determine the scope of the situation, Astronauts of the Shenzhou 20 mission They landed this Friday, November 14th in At 9:40 a.m. Spanish Peninsula time, at Dongfengye (northern Inner Mongolia) on Shenzhou 21.
In the recovery phase, Shenzhou 21 spacecraft successfully completes separation of orbital module and propulsion module Then it will land on the east wind. Once the capsule landed on solid ground, the hatch was opened and medical staff confirmed that Chen Dongjun, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie were safe. They are “in good shape”reported Chinese state media.

Shenzhou-20 was originally intended to bring back ancient aviators, but after “microcracks” were discovered in one of the capsule’s windows, likely caused by space debris. The Chinese Space Mission (AEMT) has decided as follows. The Shenzhou 20 spacecraft was not suitable for a safe manned descent.so it’s still in orbit and undergoing tests.
The “stranded” astronaut spent 204 days in orbit
At the end of April this year, China launched the spacecraft Shenzhou 20. Three ancient astronauts board the ship and head to Amamiya base to conduct scientific research and extravehicular activities in space. The crew spent 204 days in orbit. And throughout this period, Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie have carried out the aforementioned actions. Integrate orbital platform operationsin addition to numerous experiments in areas such as microgravity physics, materials science, and astrobiology.
Since November 1st last year, after Shenzhou 21 arrived with rescue workers, Shenzhou 20 astronauts live at Amamiya base with their successors. While security checks are being carried out.
