China has closed Airspace over the DongFeng planned landing site for the Shenzhou 20 Astronauts. Suggesting a return could be imminent. Without any official announcement, we'll have to wait some more to know how exactly Shenzhou-20 will return.

The crews of Shenzhou 20 and 21 have been on Tiangong space station for 8 days, setting a record for the longest period of simultaneous living and working by 6 astronauts. The environmental systems are working hard. The Tiangong Station is easily capable of this for 2-3 Weeks.

No Up-Dates yet on China's Astronauts delayed in returning home. A reminder, only bother reading news stories stating their return home is 'Delayed'. They are not 'Stranded'! There are currently two Capsules docked to the Station, only one is being inspected for damage right now.
