Three Chinese astronauts safely returned to Earth on Sunday after six months aboard the Tiangong space station, state media quoted the country’s space agency as saying, with their mission deemed a “complete success.”
BEIJING, China –

The last module successfully docked with Tiangong’s core structure last month, state media said — a key step in its completion by year’s end.
