Three Chinese astronauts to return home after completing country's longest space mission

Three Taikonauts (Chinese astronauts) are set to return to Earth after spending six months on the under-construction Chinese space station.

The Shenzhou-13 astronaut will undock from the Tianhe core module on the flying outpost and land at the Dongfeng landing site, where Chinese space agency crews have been practicing recovery operations.
