China's uncrewed spacecraft Shenzhou-22 arrived yesterday at the Tiangong space station after a 3.5 hour journey. It will bring back the 3 astronauts onboard Tiangong at the end of their mission in early 2026.
Shenzhou-22 is an emergency flight mounted on a short 16-day timeline because the currently docked Shenzhou-20 spacecraft suffered damage due to space debris.
It's a feat unmatched by any other space-faring nation.
