Welcome home! The Shenzhou XI manned spacecrat returmed to Earth on Sept 17. Carrying three Chinese astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Teng Hongbo, the return capsule (返回舱) touched down at the Dongfeng landing site in Inner Mongolia at 1:34 pm. The three astronauts were found in good health. Actually, the return journey was so smooth that Tang was seen playing with a pen in the return capsule. However, there were dangerous and challenging parts that you might not know about the landing.

While the return capsule entered the atmosphere (大气层), the temperature of its outside could be higher than 2,000 degrees! “Real gold fears no fire, “Nie joked as they experienced this. Special materials on the outside of the capsule kept the astronauts sale inside. More dangerously, the astronauts experienced a blackout (黑障) period, which was caused by the heating. It means they lost radio touch with Barth for several minutes. Radar (雷达) helped people on the ground locate (定位) the capsule.

When the capsule was about 10 kilometers above the ground, it prepared to land. At the time. The capsule still traveled at 200 meters per second. That’s twice the speed of high-speed trains! It was to fast to directly land. Therefore, parachutes (降落) are used to soften the landing. Even so, if a parachute is too big, it might turn over, just like an umbrella on windy days. So the capsule first opened a small parachute before pulling out its giant main parachute-as big as 1,200 square meters! They let the capsule slow down gradually.
