中国军网北京5月29日电（记者牛凯旋）据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，北京时间2026年5月29日20时11分，神舟二十一号航天员乘组搭乘神舟二十二号载人飞船在东风着陆场成功着陆，现场医监医保人员确认航天员张陆、武飞、张洪章身体状态良好，任务取得圆满成功。 19时20分，北京航天飞行控制中心通过地面测控站发出返回指令，神舟二十二号载人飞船轨道舱与返回舱成功分离。之后，飞船返回制动发动机点火，返回舱与推进舱分离，返回舱成功着陆，担负搜救回收任务的搜救分队及时发现目标并抵达着陆现场。返回舱舱门打开后，医监医保人员确认航天员身体健康。神舟二十一号航天员乘组于2025年11月1日进驻中国空间站，3名航天员在轨驻留210天，刷新了中国航天员单个乘组在轨驻留最长纪录，期间进行了3次出舱活动，完成了神舟二十号飞船返回舱舷窗巡检拍照、空间站空间碎片防护装置安装等任务，开展了多次货物进出舱任务，并在地面科研人员密切配合下，完成了涉及微重力基础物理、空间材料科学、空间生命科学、航天医学、航天技术等领域的大量空间科学实（试）验。此外，在轨飞行期间，神舟二十一号航天员乘组亲身经历和见证了我国载人航天工程史上首次飞船受空间碎片撞击推迟返回、首次航天员乘组换船返回、首次飞船应急发射等历史时刻，经历和见证了载人航天工程全线天地同心、万众一心开展应急行动的难忘瞬间。神舟二十一号航天员乘组此次返回搭乘的神舟二十二号载人飞船于2025年11月25日从酒泉卫星发射中心升空，执行我国载人航天工程首次应急发射任务，随后成功对接于空间站天和核心舱前向端口；该乘组出征时搭乘的神舟二十一号载人飞船，已于2025年11月14日接替遭空间碎片撞击的神舟二十号飞船，护送神舟二十号航天员乘组安全回家。图片：中国载人航天工程办公室

Summary

Machine summary

Astronauts Zhang Lu, Wu Fei, and Zhang Hongzhang landed at the Dongfeng Landing Site aboard the Shenzhou-22 return capsule at 20:11 on May 29, 2026, completing a 210-day mission that the article identifies as the longest single-crew in-orbit stay in Chinese spaceflight history. The mission documents three firsts the article explicitly claims: a return delayed by space debris impact, a crew spacecraft swap-and-return, and an emergency spacecraft launch — the Shenzhou-22 having lifted off November 25, 2025 specifically to provide the Shenzhou-21 crew an undamaged return vehicle. Whether the debris strike that triggered this sequence caused lasting damage to Shenzhou-21 or the station itself remains unaddressed in the article.
