The three astronauts from China's Shenzhou-19 crewed mission met the press in Beijing on Wednesday, their first public appearance after returning to Earth in April.

Astronauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze are in good physical and mental health and their medical examination results are all normal. Their muscle strength, endurance and exercise cardiopulmonary function have basically returned to pre-flight levels, according to the meeting.

The Shenzhou-19 manned spaceship was launched on Oct. 30, 2024, and docked with the Chinese space station's core module Tianhe to form a combination. The trio returned to Earth on April 30.

"During the 183 days of orbital flight, we completed three extravehicular activities (EVAs), multiple cargo delivery tasks, and a number of experiments and tests in various fields," said Cai, commander of the Shenzhou-19 crew. Many of these projects were implemented for the first time since the country's space station entered the application and development phase.

During the mission, the Shenzhou-19 crew set a record for the longest single EVA duration by Chinese astronauts -- 9 hours in total.
