After around half a year in space, the Chinese space mission Shenzhou-19 has been completed. The return capsule carrying the three taikonauts Cai Xuzhe, Wang Haoze and Song Lingdong touched down safely in the Gobi Desert at around 1 p.m. local time on Wednesday, as reported by Chinese state television. The landing had originally been planned for the previous day, but had to be postponed due to bad weather conditions. All three crew members were in good health and the mission was a „complete success“, the state news agency Xinhua reported.
