BEIJING—A Chinese space capsule with three astronauts aboard returned to Earth on Friday
from a 13-day mission to an orbiting module that is a prototype for a future permanent station.
The Shenzhou 9 parachuted to a landing on the grasslands of the country's sprawling Inner Mongolia
region at about 9:53am local time.
China declared the mission to the Tiangong 1 module—the country's longest and most challenging
space mission yet—a major stride for its ambitious space program.
