The return capsule of the Shenzhou-20 spaceship, carrying no astronauts, touched down at the Dongfeng landing site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on January 19, bringing back a valuable retired extravehicular spacesuit as part of its return cargo.

Extravehicular spacesuit B is the first of its kind on China's space station and holds the distinction of supporting 20 extravehicular activities (EVAs) within four years, exceeding its design goal.
