China's Shenzhou-10 Lands
China’s three-person Shenzhou-10 crew returned to Earth just after 8:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) tonight, June 25 (8:00 am June 26 Beijing time), completing a roughly 15 day mission. They landed in Inner Mongolia as scheduled.
Nie Haisheng, Zhang Xiaoguang and Wang Yaping spent 13 of those days aboard the Tiangong-1 space station. Wang, China’s second woman in space, taught a class to elementary and middle school students so China calls her their first teacher in space. The crew also tested manual docking techniques and did a fly-around of the module before they returned to Earth today. Apart from that, there was little news about their activities other than developing experience in living and working in space.
