The re-entry capsule named Shenzhou-7 landed on Inner Mongolia at 5:39 p.m. (9:39 GMT) on Sunday. After about 45 minutes of the capsule touching Earth, the three astronauts crawled out of the capsule. The 45 minute gap of exiting out of the capsule is essential to cover up the difference in the force of gravity. The medical officials quoted that the astronauts were in good health.
