The Shenzhou XV mission crew returned to Earth on Sunday morning after a six-month mission that witnessed the completion of the Tiangong space station.
A reentry capsule carrying the crew members — mission commander Major General Fei Junlong, Senior Colonel Deng Qingming and Senior Colonel Zhang Lu — touched down on Earth at the Dongfeng Landing Site in northwestern China's Gobi Desert at 6:33 am after flying for nine hours in a reentry trajectory.
Ground recovery personnel soon opened the hatch of the capsule and conducted a preliminary examination of the astronauts' condition.
The crew members told ground controllers in Beijing via radio that they had safely landed and were "feeling pretty good".
After preparatory work, ground personnel carried the astronauts out of the capsule one by one to place them on chairs in front of the capsule.
While seated, the astronauts shared their feelings and thoughts with a reporter from China Central Television in a live program.
Fei, who was on his second spaceflight, said his crew has completed all of their tasks before returning safely to the motherland and all of them "are in good condition".
Deng, the last in the first generation of Chinese astronauts to go to space, told the State broadcaster that he was very happy to return to "the embrace of Earth and my motherland" and see so many friends.
"At this moment, I wish to thank all Chinese people for their attention, support and encouragement. I also want to thank all space industry workers involved in this mission for their company over the past over 180 days," he said.

神舟十五号航天员成功降落内蒙古
神舟十五号载人飞行任务的航天员费俊龙、邓清明和张陆，于周日返回地球，这次任务历时6个月，见证了天宫空间站的完成。
携带航天员的再入舱在重返地球大气层后，沿着再入轨道飞行九个小时，最终在中国西北部戈壁滩上的东风降落场安全着陆。地面恢复人员很快打开舱门，并进行了航天员身体状况的初步检查。
航天员通过无线电与北京的地面控制中心联系，告知他们已经安全着陆，并且“感觉不错”。
经过准备工作，地面人员逐个将航天员抬出再入舱，并放到舱前的椅子上。坐着的航天员在直播中向央视记者分享了他们的感受和想法。
费俊龙表示，他的航组在返回祖国前完成了所有任务，他们“身体状况良好”。
邓清明是第一批中国航天员中最后一个去太空的，他告诉国家广播电视总局，他很高兴回到“地球和祖国的怀抱”，看到这么多朋友。“此刻，我要感谢所有中国人民的关注、支持和鼓励。我还要感谢所有参与此次任务的航天工业工作者，陪伴我们度过了过去的180多天。”
