CCTV News: Yesterday (April 16), the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft return capsule successfully landed in the predetermined area of the Dongfeng Landing Site.
Three astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping, and Ye Guangfu, ended their 6-month "space trip" and became the astronaut crew with the longest on-orbit mission in my country's history.
Today, in our time and space documentary, we will tell you who is behind the successful return of Shenzhou 13 and who is escorting them.
At 9:00 p.m. on April 15, 2022, about 12 hours before Shenzhou 13 braked and returned, I met Hou Yongqing, deputy chief designer of the manned space engineering space station system, in the command hall of the Beijing Aerospace Control Center. She Said he was a veteran of the manned spaceflight team.
Hou Yongqing's job today is to lead the team of the space station system to cooperate with the Shenzhou 13 spacecraft to evacuate the space station.

It will take about 11 hours for Shenzhou 13 to brake and return
Zhai Zhigang:
We are the flight crew of Shenzhou 13. We have successfully completed the six-month in-orbit flight and are about to return to the ground.
Wang Yaping:
I would like to thank the people of the whole country for their care and love, and I would like to thank all the scientific researchers for their strong support and company day and night. I am proud of our great motherland.
Ye Guangfu:
I wish China's space station and China's space home will become better and better. See you in Beijing.

It will be about 10 hours before Shenzhou 13 starts to return
Wang Yaping:
Shenzhou 13 reported that the meridian door of the node cabin has been closed.
At about 11:30 in the night, the Shenzhou 13 astronaut closed the radial hatch of the node module of the core module and entered the Shenzhou 13 spacecraft, preparing to evacuate the space station.

Shenzhou 13 separates from the space station
Zhai Zhigang:
The Shenzhou 13 report, the instrument shows that the separation is complete.
At 12:44 a.m. on April 16, the Shenzhou 13 spacecraft was evacuated from the space station and officially started its journey back to Earth, which means that the space station's work with the Shenzhou 13 evacuation has been completed, and the baton has been handed over. In the hands of Shenzhou 13.
The evacuation of Shenzhou 13 from the space station means that the focus of the return mission has been transferred from the space station to the Shenzhou spacecraft. This transfer is not only reflected in every mission, but also runs through the entire Chinese manned space program.
Looking back, China's manned space project started in 1992 and launched the first Shenzhou spacecraft in 1999. Today, my country has realized the dream transfer from unmanned to manned, from space rendezvous to space station construction.
The transmission of dreams is not only in the mission, but also in the cultivation of aerospace talents.
In the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, the manned spaceflight team has a tradition of "facilitating and leading". After the newcomer joins, there will be a supervisor who is responsible for guiding his work, so that the newcomer can grow rapidly.
The two young people sitting in front of Shao Limin are a pair of master and apprentice.
Yang Haifeng joined the Shenzhou spaceship team in 2010. At that time, his master was Shao Limin, who is now sitting behind him.
And now Yang Haifeng's apprentice is responsible for the dispatch of Shenzhou 13's return - Xiao Xuedi.
A few hours later, a new day begins.
Shenzhou 13 flew 5 times around the earth after evacuating the space station, and has already met the conditions for re-entry and return.
CCTV reporter Cui Xia:
You can clearly see from our pictures that the return capsule of Shenzhou 13 has landed smoothly and safely at the Dongfeng landing site.
Zhai Zhigang:
Beijing, I am Shenzhou 13. I have landed safely and returned smoothly.
01 Feel good!
Wang Yaping: 02Feeling
good!
Ye Guangfu: 03Feeling
