Two members of the Shenzhou-12 crew returned to the Tianhe main module of the Chinese Tiangong Orbital Station under construction after successfully performing extravehicular work in outer space. This was reported on Sunday, July 4, by the CGTN TV channel.

It is noted that Chinese cosmonauts Liu Boming and Tan Hongbo returned to the module.
