Items return to Earth from space flight

Re-entry module carried equipment, test samples and cultural products

Chinese engineers opened the re-entry module of the prototype of China's new-generation manned spacecraft that returned to Earth earlier this month, distributing items inside it to their owners.

Dozens of items carried by the re-entry module were delivered to related parties at a ceremony on Friday afternoon at the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing - nationals flags of Pakistan and Argentina were given to diplomats from the two countries; a 3D printer was handed over to the Chinese Academy of Sciences; plant seeds were returned to researchers from several provinces; and scientific experimental equipment was delivered to their developers.

Nearly 100 items, ranging from test equipment and experimental devices to cultural products, were sent into space inside the module.
