Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 16, 183 Days later, the "space trip trio" finally arrived home safely!
At 9:56 Beijing time on April 16, the return module of the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft successfully landed at the Dongfeng landing field. The on-site medical supervision and medical insurance personnel confirmed that the astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu were in good physical condition, and the Shenzhou 13 manned flight mission was a complete success. Overseas experts, scholars and media said that the success of the mission is a major victory for China's space exploration program, which will help promote the long-term development and full operation of the Chinese space station, and hopes that China can share the breakthroughs in scientific research and technology and continue to strengthen cooperation.
"This is a major victory for China's space exploration program"
As the second manned spacecraft launched during the key technology verification stage of the Chinese space station, the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft has achieved many firsts in this mission, constantly refreshing China's space record and demonstrating the new height of China's aerospace science and technology.
According to an article published on the US space website, the Shenzhou 13 manned mission is the longest stay in space orbit in China so far, and astronaut Wang Yaping became the first Chinese woman to walk in space. During the six-month mission, the three astronauts conducted two spacewalks, completed more than 20 different scientific experiments, and conducted two "Tiangong Classrooms" to teach space on the space station.

Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported on the smooth landing of the return module of China's Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft on the 16th, saying that 3 astronauts carried out technical verification in the core module of the space station "Tianhe" module, and China repeatedly rotated astronauts and supplied materials to prepare for the use of the space station.
Kenyan international studies scholar Kavins Adehill said that the successful completion of the Shenzhou 13 manned mission is a major victory for China's space exploration program. As a major developing country, China's progress in space science is an encouragement to the vast number of developing countries.

Brad Tucker, a doctor of astrophysics at the Australian National University, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency in Canberra recently that the successful completion of the Shenzhou 13 manned mission is very important to promote the long-term development and full operation of the Chinese space station. The mission shows that Chinese astronauts are capable of long-term space flights, and future related goals and plans are "exciting".
"Hope to strengthen cooperation with China in the field of spaceflight"
Ramek Odada, an economics lecturer at the University of Science and Technology of Namibia, said that China's achievements in space station construction and space exploration are "unparalleled" and have contributed China's strength to human exploration of the universe. It is hoped that China can share the breakthroughs in scientific research and technology, continue to strengthen cooperation with the country, "help us cultivate our own aviation and aerospace talents, and look forward to the near future, our Namibian astronauts can board the Chinese space station." ”

In fact, China has always attached great importance to cooperation with other countries and regions in the world in the field of spaceflight.
The China Manned Space Engineering Office has always adhered to the principles of peaceful utilization, equality, mutual benefit and common development, and has signed cooperation framework agreements with the space agencies of Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Pakistan and other countries, as well as the United Nations Department for Outer Space Affairs and ESA and other space organizations, and carried out various forms of cooperation and exchanges.
In Africa, the space measurement and control station established by China in Namibia is one of the largest and most fully functional measurement and control stations in China's overseas space monitoring and control stations. In Latin America, China helped Bolivia successfully launch the communication satellite "Tupac Catari", giving Bolivia its first satellite...
