The Shenzhou-16 (SZ-16) spacecraft has come home after its crew completed a six-month stay aboard the Chinese Tiangong space station. In addition, a Chang Zheng-6A successfully launched from Taiyuan the day after SZ-16’s return, and a commercial launch — involving CAS Space’s Kinetica-1 from Jiuquan — was thought to be happening this week but appears to have been pushed back. A Chang Zheng-7A rocket has also flown from Hainan Island this week as well.
