Shenzhou 14 crew return to Earth

China's Shenzhou-14 astronauts, Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe, returned to Earth on Sunday night at the Dongfeng landing site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

The three astronauts handed over control of China Space Station (CSS) to the Shenzhou-15 crew on Friday evening, completing the country's first in-orbit crew rotation.

The crew of Shenzhou-15 met with the three Shenzhou-14 astronauts at the CSS on November 30, a historic gathering that increased the manpower at the in-orbit space lab to six for the first time.
