China completed the search and recovery of Mengzhou spacecraft's return capsule on Wednesday at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in south China's Hainan Province, on Wednesday, according to the China Manned Space Engineering Office.

The Mengzhou (dream vessel) spacecraft, China's new-generation spaceship for crewed mission, successfully conducted a maximum dynamic pressure abort test and achieved a safe splashdown on the sea. It was carried out during a low-altitude demonstration and verification flight test of the Long March-10 carrier rocket.

At 12:20, the maritime search and rescue team completed the recovery of the return capsule. The success offered crucial experience for subsequent space station operation and crewed lunar landing, the agency said.

The spacecraft Mengzhou is designed mainly for China's crewed lunar exploration and can also be used for space station operation. Its return capsule is capable of multiple reuses.
