BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- China's Shenzhou-6 spacecraft, carrying astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, landed on earth safely around 4:32 a.m. Monday.
The search and rescue team has come into contact with the astronauts, who reported both the spacecraft and astronauts are "in fine conditions" after a five-day space flight.
The re-entry module landed 1 km away from the preset spot.
Rescuers who located the re-entry capsule gave the two astronauts a check-up shortly after reaching the module and advised them to get out of the capsule by themselves. Enditem
