The CMSA said that before they returned to Earth after about half a year in orbit, the Shenzhou XVII crew completed various tasks such as setting the status of the space station combination, processing and transmitting the experimental data, transferring remaining supplies, and then carrying out handover work with the Shenzhou XVIII crew.
China launched the Shenzhou XVIII manned spaceship on April 25, sending three astronauts - Ye Guangfu, Li Cong, and Li Guangsu - to its space station for another six-month mission.
