Three Chinese astronauts have successfully returned to Earth after a five-month mission on China's Tiangong space station.

During their mission, the astronauts conducted various activities including a spacewalk, vegetable cultivation, and a live lecture.

China's space station is now fully operational and will continue to be used for experiments and equipment maintenance.

China plans to send astronauts to the moon by 2030 and launch future missions including the deployment of a new telescope to explore the universe.

China's space program is in competition with the US, which is also planning to return astronauts to the moon with the help of the private sector.
