The return capsule of the Shenzhou-20 spaceship, carrying no astronauts, successfully landed at the Dongfeng landing site at 9:34 a.m. (Beijing time) on January 19, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

On-site inspections confirmed that the exterior of the Shenzhou-20 return capsule was generally intact, and the downlinked items inside were in good condition. The spacecraft had originally been scheduled to return the three astronauts to earth on November 5, 2025, but the mission was postponed due to a suspected impact from tiny space debris.
