An unpiloted Shenzhou 22 spacecraft launched from China on Monday, docking with the Tiangong space station to provide a safe return vehicle for three astronauts left without one due to damage on another craft. The rapid response followed the discovery of a cracked window on Shenzhou 20, likely caused by space debris. This marks China's first use of its emergency human spaceflight contingency plan.

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.
