Chinese astronauts return after six-month mission, delayed by debris damage; Shenzhou-21 marks first mouse experiment in space.
Three Chinese astronauts—Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie—returned to Earth on Friday, November 14, 2025, aboard the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft that delivered their replacement crew to the Tiangong space station.
Their return was delayed over a week after their original Shenzhou-20 capsule sustained likely damage from space debris, prompting a change in plans.
The crew, on a six-month mission since April, were reported in good health and continued normal operations.
The Shenzhou-21 mission also marked China’s first space-based biological experiment with mice.
China continues advancing its space program, aiming for a crewed lunar landing by 2030.
