JIUQUAN, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) — China's manned spacecraft Shenzhou-20 does not meet the requirements for the safe return of astronauts to Earth and will remain in orbit to continue related experiments, the China Manned Space Administration (CMSA) said Friday.

According to the CMSA, small cracks were found in the window of the spacecraft's return capsule, which were most likely caused by external impact from space debris.
