The Shenzhou-20 crew, consisting of three astronauts, is delayed on the Tiangong space station due to suspected damage from space debris. Engineers are assessing the Shenzhou-20 capsule after a debris strike caused cracks in the viewport window, leading to concerns about the safety of the spacecraft for the astronauts. The crew was originally scheduled to return in November 2025.
