China's spacecraft tracking ship Yuanwang-3. /CFP

China's Yuanwang-3 spacecraft tracking ship wrapped up its mission of monitoring the 46th BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) satellite and arrived at a port in east China's Jiangsu Province Monday.

The ship has traveled more than 30,000 nautical miles in the one-month mission.

Yuanwang-3, China's second-generation space tracking ship, has completed 83 monitoring missions from the sea, including maritime tracking of the Shenzhou spacecraft, the Chang'e lunar probe and several BeiDou satellites.

The satellite was launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province on June 25.
