Chinese astronauts onboard the spacecraft Shenzhou-7 started preparing on Sunday morning for the return trip to the earth after accomplishing China's first spacewalk on Saturday afternoon.
The three taikonauts were taking on in-cabin space suits at 11:10 a.m. and control data for the return trip would be sent to the spacecraft.
The Shenzhou-7 spacecraft took off from northwest China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 9:10 p.m. on Thursday, and is scheduled to land on the Inner Mongolia steppe at about 5:40 p.m. on Sunday.
