Beijing: Trio Astronaut China returned to earth Friday after 90 days living on their first space station on the longest mission of China.

(0530 GMT) After not damaged from the space station Thursday morning.
Broadcaster State CCTV shows the recording of the spacecraft fence to land in the Gobi desert where it is filled with helicopters and off-road vehicles.
A few minutes later, a technician crew began to open the capsule, which appeared not damaged.
After being launched on June 17, Mission Commander Nie and Astronaut Liu and Tang continued two spacecraft, mobilizing a mechanical arm of 10 meters (33 feet), and got a video call with the Communist Party leader Xi Jinping.
While some details have been published by the Chinese military, which runs the space program, Trios astronauts are expected to be taken on the 90-day mission to the station for the next two years to make it fully functional.
The government has not announced the names of the next astronauts or the launch date of Shenzhou-13.
China has sent 14 astronauts into space since 2003, when it became only the third country after the former Soviet Union and the United States did it themselves.
China began its own space station program after being excluded from the International Space Station, mostly due to US objections to the confidentiality of the confidentiality of the Chinese program and the military.
