China has proved its command over space technology. China's first spacewalk mission is sucessfully over and three astronauts are returned to the earth. This was seen as a sign of rising confidence as Beijing cements its status as a space power.
State broadcaster CCTV showed the astronauts' return after their Shenzhou 7 ship's re-entry vehicle burst through the Earth's atmosphere to make a landing under clear skies in the grasslands of China's northern Inner Mongolia region.
A senior space official said the mission China's most ambitious in space yet takes the country one step closer in its plan to land a man on the moon.
