The reporter learned from the China Manned Space Engineering Office that at 1:24 am on November 4th, the return capsule of the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft successfully landed at the Dongfeng landing site. At 2:15, astronauts Ye Guangfu, Li Cong, and Li Guangsu from Shenzhou 18 safely and smoothly exited the spacecraft, in good health. The manned flight mission of Shenzhou 18 has achieved complete success. At 0:34, the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center issued a return command through the ground measurement and control station, and the orbital module and return module of the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft were successfully separated. Afterwards, the spacecraft returned with the brake engine ignited, the return capsule separated from the propulsion capsule, and the return capsule successfully landed. The search and rescue team responsible for the search and rescue mission promptly discovered the target and arrived at the landing site. After the return cabin door was opened, the medical supervision and medical insurance personnel confirmed that the astronaut was in good health. The reporter learned from Dongfeng Landing Site that the search and rescue recovery mission will adopt the mode of "airborne search and rescue of astronauts, ground disposal of return capsule". Before landing in the return capsule, the airborne squadron received the beacon signal from the onboard directional device, and 5 helicopters zeroed and flew; Ground teams search forward according to the predicted landing point. After receiving the coordinates of the landing point, the aerial team arrived first over the landing point of the return capsule and organized the landing. The disposal team carried out the installation of portable stations, anhydrous hydrazine testing, establishment of warning areas, and opening of cabin doors in an orderly manner. The medical supervision and medical insurance team and the disposal team assisted three astronauts to exit the cabin one by one and transport them to the corresponding medical supervision and rescue vehicles. Thus, the space journey of the '80s generation' has come to a successful conclusion. Astronaut Ye Guangfu's dream journey of returning to the "Heavenly Palace" has come to a perfect end, breaking the record for the duration of Chinese astronauts' stay in orbit and becoming the first Chinese astronaut to have accumulated more than one year of flight time. The first flight of astronauts Li Cong and Li Guangsu was successfully completed. The Shenzhou 18 manned spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on April 25, 2024, and then docked with the Tianhe core module to form a combination. Three astronauts stayed in orbit for 192 days, during which they conducted two extravehicular activities, breaking the record for single extravehicular activity time for Chinese astronauts. They completed the installation of space debris protection devices on the space station and multiple cargo extravehicular missions. They also carried out various tasks such as installation, debugging, maintenance, and repair of equipment inside and outside the spacecraft, accumulating valuable data and experience for the long-term stable operation of the space station in orbit; With close cooperation from ground researchers, a large number of space science experiments involving microgravity basic physics, space materials science, space life science, aerospace medicine, aerospace technology, and other fields have been completed.
