A Chinese spacecraft returned three astronauts to Earth Monday evening after more than five months in space. The Shenzhou-16 spacecraft landed at a designated location near the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 8:10 pm EDT (0010 GMT Tuesday), nearly 12 hours after undocking from the Tiangong station. The spacecraft returned Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao to Earth after more than 150 days in space. The station is now staffed by astronauts who arrived on the Shenzhou-17 mission last week.
