Baku, May 7, AZERTAC
China's Tianzhou-9 cargo craft has re-entered the atmosphere in a controlled manner at 7:49 a.m. (Beijing Time) Thursday, Xinhua reported, citing the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
During the process, a small amount of debris that survived the ablation fell into the designated safe waters, said the CMSA.
Launched on July 15, 2025, from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern island province of Hainan, the Tianzhou-9 was loaded with supplies including astronaut consumables for an in-orbit stay, propellant, and application experiment equipment.
The Tianzhou-9 separated from the orbiting Tiangong space station combination on Wednesday and then entered its independent flight phase.
