Shenzhou 22

Wiki

Shenzhou 22 (Chinese: 神舟二十二号) is the 22nd flight of the Shenzhou program. The spacecraft was launched without crew to replace Shenzhou 20 that was damaged by orbital debris on the descent module porthole window, and thus deemed unsuitable for crew re-entry. The spacecraft will later return three Chinese astronauts on the 10th expedition to the Chinese Space Station back to Earth, who were launched on Shenzhou 21.
