Astronauts return from China's longest crewed space mission
Three Chinese astronauts have returned to Earth after 183 days in space, state television reported, completing the country's longest crewed space mission to date.
The trio - two men, Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu and one woman, Wang Yaping - landed nine hours after they left a key module of China's first space station.
While in orbit, the Shenzhou-13 mission astronauts took manual control in the Tianhe living quarters module for what state media called a "docking experiment" with the Tianzhou-2 cargo spacecraft.
Following their launch in October, the astronauts spent 183 days in space, completing the fifth of 11 missions needed to finish the Tiangong space station by the end of the year.
