Space Debris
Chinese space authorities have released new details on damage to the Shenzhou-20 return capsule, confirming a crack in one window was caused by space debris smaller than one millimeter. The incident occurred on November 5, when the crew discovered an anomaly during a routine pre-landing inspection, prompting an immediate pause in the return flight. Experts noted the tiny debris, traveling at high velocity, produced a crack over a centimeter long.

A collision with space debris has damaged the only docked spacecraft at China's Tiangong space station, leaving three astronauts without a safe ride home. The damaged craft does not meet the release conditions for a safe manned return. Meanwhile, three other crew members returned to Earth after 204 days in orbit aboard a Shenzhou spacecraft on Friday.
