WENCHANG, Hainan Province, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) — China on Wednesday successfully completed its first offshore search and recovery mission for a spacecraft's return module, the China Manned Space Administration (CMSA) said.
China's new-generation manned spacecraft, the Mengzhou Dream Boat, successfully completed a maximum dynamic pressure test and landed safely in the ocean on Wednesday, according to the CMSA.
This operation was carried out during flight tests of the Long March-10 launch vehicle systems at low altitude, as well as the Mengzhou spacecraft systems at maximum dynamic pressure.
At 12:20 Beijing time, the marine search and rescue team completed the mission to find and retrieve the Mengzhou reentry module, accumulating valuable experience for subsequent missions to use and develop the space station, as well as for landing a man on the moon.
According to the CMSA, the Mengzhou spacecraft is primarily intended for China's manned lunar program and can also be used to support the operation of the near-Earth space station. Its return module is reusable.
