🚀 This Friday, November 14, the Shenzhou-21 propulsion capsule successfully detached from its return capsule, the China Manned Space Agency announced. This precise separation kicks off the final homebound journey for the crew module.
The propulsion capsule handled all on-orbit maneuvers and power support, while the return capsule is now set for reentry into the atmosphere. Ground teams are monitoring every detail to secure a smooth landing.
As part of the Chinese mainland's ambitious crewed space program, Shenzhou-21 continues to pave the way for future missions to the Tiangong space station. Each step brings us closer to longer, more daring adventures in orbit!
Space enthusiasts, keep your eyes on the skies and your feeds for the landing update. Who else is ready for touchdown? 🌍🛰️✨
