China's Shenzhou-20 spacecraft found unfit for crewed return

CGTN

The Shenzhou-20 spacecraft does not meet the requirements for the astronauts' safe return and will remain in orbit to continue relevant experiments, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) announced on Friday.

According to the CMSA, tiny cracks were found in the return capsule's viewport window, most likely caused by an external impact from space debris.
