YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

China’s Shenzhou-17 spacecraft returned to Earth this week, carrying three astronauts who have completed a six-month mission aboard the country’s orbiting space station.

The three, Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin, landed at the Dongfeng site in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the Gobi desert shortly before 6:00 p.m. (1000 GMT). It comes roughly four days after the Shenzhou-18 mission docked with the station with their three-member replacement crew onboard.

China aims to become the first nation to have a spacecraft return to Earth with samples from the far side of the moon next year. Other projects include a robotic probe to the lunar south pole as well as a crewed mission “around 2030.”
