After safety checks outside the capsule, ground recovery personnel from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the homeport for all of China's manned spaceflights so far, will open the hatch of the bell-shaped vehicle and conduct a preliminary examination of the astronauts' state of health.

The crew members will then be carried out of the capsule and transferred to medical support vans for further examination.

After these on-site procedures are completed, Ye's team will be flown back to Beijing to undergo a period of quarantine and recuperation programs, which is a standard procedure for Chinese astronauts returning from space.
