Three Chineseastronauts return to Earth after six months in space
The Shenzhou-13 spacecraft was the latest mission in Beijing's drive to rival the United States, after landing a rover on Mars and sending probes to the Moon.
Zhai was the first to emerge from the capsule roughly 45 minutes after the landing, waving and grinning at cameras as he was lifted by ground crew into a specially designed chair before being bundled into a blanket. Wang became the first Chinese woman to spacewalk last November, as she and her colleague Zhai installed space station equipment during a six-hour stint.in 2008, while Ye is a People's Liberation Army pilot.
China's previous record spaceflight mission length was set by last year's Shenzhou-12 deployment, which lasted 92 days.
