【#Tech24H】At 09:34 Beijing time on January 19, the return capsule of the Shenzhou XX spacecraft successfully landed at the Dongfeng Landing Site. On-site inspections confirmed that the return capsule was generally in good condition externally, and the onboard descent items were intact, marking the complete success of the Shenzhou XX return mission. The Shenzhou XX spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on April 24, 2025, and successfully docked with the space station. Its return was postponed in early November due to a suspected impact from tiny space debris, during which it remained in orbit for further experiments. At 00:23 on January 19, 2026, the spacecraft undocked from the space station and began its unmanned return journey. With a total in-orbit time of 270 days, the mission validated the spacecraft’s capability to remain docked in orbit for nine months.
