Three astronauts were stationed in the Tianhe core module and stayed for 6 months
At 9:06, the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center issued a return command through the ground measurement and control station, and the orbital module of the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft was successfully separated from the return module. At 9:30, the spacecraft returned to the brake engine ignition, and the return capsule was separated from the propulsion module. After the successful landing of the return module, the search and rescue detachment responsible for search and rescue recovery tasks found the target in time and arrived at the landing site at the first time. After the return hatch door opened, the medical supervision and medical insurance personnel confirmed that the astronauts were in good health. The relevant leaders of the General Command of the Space Station Phase of the Manned Space Project greeted the astronauts at the Dongfeng landing site.
The Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on October 16, 2021, and then docked with the Tianhe core module to form a combination, and three astronauts were stationed in the core module for a period of 6 months, creating a new record for the continuous flight time of Chinese astronauts in orbit. During the orbital flight, the astronauts have carried out two out-of-the-cabin activities, carried out a number of scientific and technological tests such as hand-controlled remote operation rendezvous and docking, robotic arm auxiliary module translocation, etc., and verified the astronauts' long-term residence support, regeneration and life protection, space material replenishment, out-of-cabin activities, extravehicular operations, on-orbit maintenance and other key technologies. Taking advantage of the mission gap, the astronauts also carried out two "Tiangong Classroom" space lectures, as well as a series of unique science education and cultural dissemination activities.
The complete success of the Shenzhou 13 manned mission marks the successful completion of the mission of the key technology verification stage of the space station, and the Chinese space station is about to enter the construction stage.

The search and rescue and recovery mission presents three new changes
The reporter learned from the landing field system and astronaut system of China's manned space project that in view of the long-term stay of Shenzhou 13 astronauts in orbit, there are three new changes in this search and rescue recovery mission.
First, astronauts are out of the cabin in a new way. What is different from the past is that every time the Shenzhou 13 astronauts leave the cabin, they are sent to the medical supervision and medical insurance carrier, which shortens the time of the astronauts' exposure to the wild environment after leaving the cabin as much as possible. "Astronauts fly in orbit for a long time, and changes such as bone loss, muscle atrophy, and decreased immunity will occur in the body, which will bring great challenges to medical supervision and medical support tasks after returning." Wu Bin, a researcher at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center and deputy chief designer of the astronaut system, said.
Second, the new model of medical supervision and medical insurance. Bian Hancheng, researcher of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and deputy chief designer of the landing field system of manned space engineering, introduced that dongfeng landing field has newly developed special seats for astronauts, astronaut medical supervision medical insurance vehicles, and astronaut medical supervision medical insurance tents, forming a new model of medical supervision and medical insurance guarantee for astronauts who prefer medical supervision medical insurance vehicles, alternative inflatable tents, and guarantee the use of medical supervision and medical insurance helicopters at the bottom, providing a more comfortable environment for astronauts to survive the initial ground gravity and then adapt to this critical period, laying a good foundation for astronauts' subsequent physical recovery.
Shenzhou No. 13 search and rescue recovery mission for the first time to use the second generation of medical supervision medical insurance vehicle, the car is fully equipped with facilities, equipped with temperature control system and so on. The astronauts entered the car by elevator and were no longer carried by search and rescue personnel.
The third is to respond to the new when returning to the season. This is the second search and rescue mission at the Dongfeng landing site, and the first time that mainland astronauts have returned in the spring. In view of the windy and sandy climate characteristics of Ejin Naqi in spring, the landing field system carried out the deduction of search and rescue tactics in advance, and prepared rescue and protection measures for the environment of high winds and sand and dust.
Bian Hancheng introduced that in this mission, the Dongfeng landing field has set up 1 helicopter detachment, 1 fixed-wing aircraft detachment, and 1 ground detachment, a total of 3 professional search and rescue forces, and formed 1 landing site peripheral sealing and control detachment, 1 mobile search and rescue detachment, and 1 search and rescue reserve team to coordinate the completion of the search and rescue task. In addition, the flag and county governments around the landing area have organized dozens of militia detachments to provide support to professional search and rescue forces.

Overseas experts and media hotly discussed the triumph of Shenzhou 13
Overseas experts, scholars and media said that this is a major victory of China's space exploration plan and will help promote the long-term development and full operation of the Chinese space station, hoping that China can share the breakthroughs in scientific research and technology and continue to strengthen cooperation.
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.
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. By building its own space station, China will expand its scientific scope. China's space industry has attracted developing countries, and China has carried out a series of space project cooperation with African countries to promote the economic and social development of African countries and benefit the production and life of African people.
Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported on the smooth landing of the return module of China's Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft yesterday, saying that the three Chinese astronauts successfully returned to the earth, refreshing the record for the longest single stay of Chinese astronauts in space. Three astronauts carried out technical verification in the core module of the space station "Tianhe" module, and China repeatedly carried out astronaut rotation and material replenishment to prepare for the use of the space station.
Molly Silke, a scholar at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom who conducts research on China's space policy, said that Chinese astronauts gave vivid space lectures on the space station, showing the progress China has made and aiming to stimulate public interest in science. She said that the real-time interaction activities with Chinese astronauts truly demonstrated the technical capabilities and practicality of China's space program. Such activities help to enhance national pride and encourage young people to pursue science-based careers.
Brad Tucker, a doctor of astrophysics at the Australian National University, said the successful completion of the Shenzhou 13 manned mission is 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".
