China's Shenzhou 14 astronauts return to Earth after helping build Tiangong space station
China's Shenzhou 14 astronauts have handed over control of the Tiangong space station and returned to Earth.
The return capsule from the mission's Shenzhou spacecraft set down safely after sunset within the Dongfeng landing area in the Gobi Desert in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Sunday (Dec. 4) at around 7 a.m. EST (1200 GMT, 8:00 p.m. local time), about nine hours after undocking from the country's recently completed Tiangong space station.
