Taikonauts Touch Down
China‘s second manned spacecraft, Shenzhou VI, has touched down successfully in Inner Mongolia after orbiting the Earth for five days.
Xinhua news agency reports the two astronauts are in good health after the space capsule touched down in the remote steppes of the northern Inner Mongolia region.
The taikonauts have completed 76 orbits of the Earth and travelled millions of kilometres since Wednesday morning’s launch of the mission.
“Our journey in space was very smooth,” Mr Fei said. “The living and working conditions inside the cabin were very good. Our health is okay.”
