A reentry module aboard carrier rocket Long March-7, which was launched on Saturday, touched down successfully on Sunday afternoon in a landing area in north China.
According to officials in charge of China's manned space engineering, the module landed in Badain Jaran Desert in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at 3:41 p.m.
Before its landing, the re-entry module, which weighs about 2,600 kilograms, spent about 20 hours in orbit.
Recovery of the module laid a solid foundation for technological breakthroughs in designing future manned spacecraft. It also means the Long March-7 has fulfilled all the objectives of its maiden flight, according the officials.
