## Caption

Astronauts aboard China’s Tiangong space station documented their preparations for the return of the debris-hit Shenzhou-20 spacecraft ahead of its safe landing on January 19 after an extended stay in orbit.⁣
⁣
Returning unmanned, Shenzhou-20 set a new record for the largest volume of cargo ever brought back to Earth in a single mission. ⁣
⁣
During packing and transfer, the crew carefully managed mass distribution and balance to ensure stability during re-entry, while also conducting detailed inspections of the docking port and hatch seals to confirm all systems were secure.⁣
