China's Shenzhou-12 astronauts return to Earth
Beijing/UNI/XINHUA: Three Chinese astronauts, the first crew sent to orbit for space station construction, have completed their three-month mission and returned to Earth safely on Friday.
The crew have been able to set a national best record for the longest crewed spaceflight mission.
The return capsule of the Shenzhou-12 manned spaceship, carrying astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo, touched down near Dongfeng, in the Gobi Desert in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The astronauts have also been credited with the completion of two extravehicular activities to prepare Tianhe for future visits and even sharing stunning pictures of the Earth.
All three astronauts were reported to be in good physical condition on their arrival.
