The Shenzhou VII space capsule has returned to Earth after a successful mission orbiting the planet. The mission is seen as a key step in China's ambitious space programme. There are plans to build an orbiting space station in the next few years. The highlight of the mission was a 15 minute spacewalk where astronaut Zhai Zhigang emerged from the capsule to wave a Chinese flag. The Shenzhou VII landed around 5:40 p.m (0940 GMT) on the steppes of northern Inner Mongolia region with the images broadcast live on national TV.
