The reporter learned from the China Manned Space Engineering Office that at 16:46 on September 11th, the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft, which had completed all scheduled tasks, successfully withdrew from the space station assembly and entered independent flight. It will be controlled for re-entry into the atmosphere on September 12th as planned. Most of the components of the cargo spacecraft will be burned and destroyed during re-entry, and a small amount of debris will fall into the designated safe waters of the South Pacific. The Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft was launched into orbit on November 12, 2022 at the Wenchang Space Launch Site, carrying consumables, propellants, application testing equipment, and other materials for three astronauts of the Shenzhou-15 spacecraft to stay in orbit for six months. It also carried multiple space application projects such as the "Macau Student Science Popularization Satellite 1" Lifang Satellite, space hydrogen oxygen fuel cells, and space high-energy particle detection payloads. During the orbital flight of the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft, it withdrew from the space station assembly on May 5, 2023, and after 33 days of independent flight, it rendezvous and dock with the space station assembly again, continuing to carry out relevant space technology experiments.
