Shenzhou 15 mission commander Fei Junlong and his teammates Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu have been on the Tiangong space station since last November. "We feel very good," Fei said shortly after exiting the Shenzhou 15 spacecraft.

Ground support teams completed rescue and recovery drills at Dongfeng on June 1st in preparation for the crew's return. After the spacecraft landed, they arrived within minutes to adjust the capsule and begin evacuating the astronauts. All three safely exited the capsule in less than an hour.

During their six months on the Tiangong space station, the Shenzhou 15 crew performed four spacewalks, setting a new national record. They also conducted a series of experiments and scientific activities, including installing an external expansion pump system and installing and connecting cables across the cabin.

The Shenzhou 15 crew welcomed the Shenzhou 16 crew to Tiangong Space Station on May 30th. On June 2nd, Fei and two teammates handed over control of the space station to the three new astronauts. "We have completed our mission in orbit with Shenzhou 15. Now I am handing over the keys to the space station as arranged," Fei said during the handover.

"On behalf of the Shenzhou 16 crew, after careful inspection and review, I confirm there are no problems and will sign," said Jing Haipeng, commander of the Shenzhou 16.

Besides Jing, the Shenzhou 16 crew also includes Gui Haichao, China's first civilian astronaut to fly into space, and engineer Zhu Yangzhu. This trio is expected to work on the Tiangong space station for about 5 months.
