China's first woman cosmonaut and two of her colleagues returned to Earth on Friday after successfully accomplishing the country's first-ever manual space docking during a two-week mission, giving a boost to Beijing's efforts to build a space station by 2020.
The spacecraft Shenzhou-9 carrying the three astronauts landed at the designated spot at Inner Mongolia region.
The landing, which was shown live on the television was a bit bumpy as the module turned upside down as it hit the ground.
