Chinese astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng landed safely in Mongolia on Sunday, after spending 5 days in orbit. Their Shenzhou-6 capsule touched down by parachute less than a kilometre from their target, and were met by helicopters and off-road vehicles. Fei and Nie will spend the next 14 days in isolation, to observe their post flight health; however, their families will be able to visit. The Chinese Space Administration has hinted that spacewalks and women astronauts will be in future missions.
