    1. To ensure the health and safety of the astronauts and the successful completion of the mission, it has been decided that the originally planned return of Shenzhou-20 on November 5 will be postponed.
    2. The Shenzhou-20 crewed spacecraft is suspected to have been struck by a small piece of orbital debris, and assessment of the impact and associated risks is currently under way.

    1. Shenzhou-22 and the Long March 2F (launcher) were already on standby. This is our rolling backup mechanism. They are in 'emergency duty' mode and ready to bring our astronauts home safely if needed.
