Before separation, the Shenzhou Nineteen astronaut crew completed all pre-separation work such as setting the status of the space station complex, transferring experimental data, and clearing and transferring in-orbit supplies under the cooperation of ground personnel. They also conducted a handover and experience exchange with the Shenzhou Twenty crew.
Subsequently, the Shenzhou Nineteen manned spaceship reentry capsule will be commanded from the ground to make an opportunistic re-entry and return. Astronauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze, who have been stationed aboard China's space station, have begun their journey home.
Due to strong wind weather at the landing site, the return of this Shenzhou spacecraft has been postponed by one day, and it will land in the eastern area of the Dongfeng landing site for the first time. In response to these new situations and challenges, all project teams closely collaborated and swiftly formulated countermeasures to ensure the mission's success. Currently, the meteorological conditions at the Dongfeng landing site meet the requirements for the task, and all systems involved are ready to welcome the astronauts home.
