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. The Shenzhou-21 crew – Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang – hailed the crucial piece of kit as a "comrade-in-arms."
