Shenzhou 18 will adopt a fast return plan with 5 orbits

According to the plan, the crew of the Shenzhou-18 spacecraft will return to the Dongfeng landing site on November 4th. The Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft will use a 5-orbit fast return scheme, which means that the spacecraft will orbit the Earth approximately 5 times in space, taking about 7.5 hours, and then return to the ground. The entire return and landing process includes braking and orbit departure, free gliding, reentry into the atmosphere, parachute landing, and other 4 stages, which will take about 50 minutes.
