China's Shenzhou 19 astronauts return to Earth after 6 months aboard Tiangong space station (video, photos)
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. China's three-person Shenzhou 19 mission came home on Wednesday (April 30) after six months in orbit. The Shenzhou 19 spacecraft — carrying astronauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze — undocked from the Tiangong space station on Tuesday (April 29) at 4 p.m. EDT (2000 GMT; 4 a.m. on April 30 China Standard Time), according to Chinese space officials. The trio spent about nine hours in transit back to Earth, touching down at the Dongfeng landing site in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Wednesday at about 1:08 a.m. EDT (0508 GMT; 1:08 p.m. China Standard Time). That was a day later than originally planned; the landing had been scheduled for Tuesday, but mission planners pushed it back due to windy weather at Dongfeng. The Shenzhou 19 astronauts had been in space since Oct. 29, when they launched toward Tiangong. And they notched some notable milestones during that stretch. For example, Cai, who was Shenzhou 19's commander, and Song spent more than nine hours outside Tiangong during a mid-December spacewalk, setting a new record for the longest extravehicular activity. The duo installed a new space debris shield on Tiangong during the super-long spacewalk. Cai and Song also conducted spacewalks on Jan. 20 and March 21, installing more shielding and inspecting extravehicular systems and equipment. The Shenzhou 19 astronauts also performed 86 scientific experiments during their time in orbit. One of those projects placed a brick made from lunar soil simulant on Tiangong's exterior, to see how it holds up in the space environment. The results could help China plan out a moon base, which it intends to build with international partners in the 2030s. Related stories: — China wants to make its Tiangong space station bigger and better — Chinese astronauts perform record-breaking 9-hour spacewalk outside Tiangong space station (video) — China plans to build moon base at the lunar south pole by 2035 Shenzhou 19 was the second spaceflight for Cai; he also flew to Tiangong on Shenzhou 14 in 2022. Song and Wang were spaceflight rookies. The Shenzhou 19 crew was China's youngest to date. Cai is 48, and both Song and Wang — currently the nation's only female spaceflight engineer — were born in 1990. The trio welcomed the three-person Shenzhou 20 mission to Tiangong on April 24 and officially handed the keys to the station over to the newcomers during a change-of-command ceremony on April 27. China finished assembling the three-module Tiangong, which is about 20% as massive as the International Space Station, in November 2022. Shenzhou 19 was the eighth crewed mission to the orbiting lab.

Trump's sweeping global tariffs, including 104% against China, due to take effect
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Hello and welcome to our live business blog, with Donald Trump's global tariffs due to take effect on Wednesday. The US president appears poised to push on with measures against imports to the US from almost every country in the world. The US will also go ahead with imposing a staggering 104% tariff on China from 12.01am ET (12.01pm China Standard Time) on Wednesday, the White House confirmed after Beijing did not lift its retaliatory tariffs on US goods by Trump's Tuesday noon deadline. Trump's tariffs are due to take effect at 2pm Australia time so Asian markets can give us some indication of how things are likely to be received. After early rallies on global stock markets, Wall Street closed down after another session of sharp losses as investors' hopes for US delays or concessions on tariffs ahead of a midnight ET deadline turned to despair. The S&P 500 fell 1.6% after wiping out an early gain of 4.1%, which had it on track for its best day in years. That brought the index nearly 19% below its record set in February. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 683 points, or 1.8%, after giving up an earlier surge of 1,460 points. The Nasdaq composite was down 3.2%. We're likely to see another bumpy day on stock markets around the world. Stick with us to follow all the latest news, reaction and analysis. Share
