Shenzhou 9 |review

BEIJING |China

The three astronauts who accomplished China’s

first manned space docking safely returned to earth on Friday morning.

The return capsule of Shenzhou-9 spacecraft touched down in north 

China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as planned.

While in the capsule, the astronauts reported to the

 command center “We have returned, and we feel good.”

Jing Haipeng, commander of the Shenzhou-9 crew, was the first to come out of the return capsule, followed by Liu Wang and the country’s first woman astronaut Liu Yang.

The three will fly to Beijing after taking physical examinations in ambulance helicopters at the landing site. Chinese leaders, including Premier Wen Jiabao, arrived at the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center Friday morning to watch the return of Shenzhou-9 spacecraft.

During their almost ten day stay aboard the Tiangong-1, or “Heavenly Palace,” the crew completed all their mission’s planned medical and science experiments and produced “valuable data,” Chen Shanguang, chief commander of the mission’s astronaut system, said.

China’s Premier Wen Jiabao hailed the successful mission as important advancement for his country. “This manned docking mission of Tiangong-1 and Shenzhou 9 marks a large milestone, a major breakthrough for China to master the space docking technology,” Wen said, reading from a statement. “And also, it marks a decisive step forward on China’s second step on its space strategy.”
