At 12:41 on the 17th, the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft and the Tiangong 2 Space Laboratory were successfully separated. Astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong are about to embark on a return journey. So far, they have been working and living in the Tiangong-2 Space Laboratory for 30 days, creating a new record for the Chinese astronauts' space dwell time.
Before the separation of the assembly, the astronauts, with the cooperation of the ground technicians, withdrew the relevant test devices and important items in the second chamber of the Tiangong and placed them in the return capsule of the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft. Before leaving the Tiangong No. 2 Space Laboratory, Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong expressed their gratitude and respect to the ground science and technology personnel and those who care about supporting the space industry.
Subsequently, two astronauts dressed in the spacesuit in the cabin returned to the return capsule of the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft and closed the return cabin door to prepare for the return. After the separation of the two spacecrafts, the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft was first evacuated to the 120-meter mooring point to maintain the position. After the status was confirmed to be normal, it was gradually moved away from the Tiangong-2 Space Laboratory under the control of the ground command.

One day later, the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft return capsule will return for the first time from an altitude of approximately 393 kilometers, assessing the relevant technology returned from the orbit of the space station. Tiangong No. 2 Space Laboratory will continue to operate in orbit and carry out relevant scientific experiments. In April 2017, it will accept the Tianzhou-1 spacecraft.
In addition, the eight airship helicopters of the air rescue unit that carried out the Shenzhou 11 manned spacecraft returning to the search and rescue mission are currently preparing for the return cabin search and rescue.
