Shenzhou-12 returned: How important is the parachute?

神舟12号返回地球：降落伞有多重要

The three taikonauts aboard ​China's Shenzhou-12 spacecraft naturally get most of the attention during discussions of their historic 90-day mission. But on their return to Earth, a key piece of equipment takes a starring role: the giant parachute that softens their landing. China's self-developed parachutes have escorted all Shenzhou spacecraft back to Earth smoothly.​ One is on display in the lobby of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC).

在为期90天的历史性太空任务中，神舟12号飞船上的三名宇航员自然是最受关注的。他们返回地球时，一件关键设备起了主要作用：即用来软化着陆的巨大降落伞。中国自主研发的降落伞护送了所有神舟飞船顺利返回地球。其中一个降落伞在中国航天科技集团公司(CASC)的大厅里展出。

Even the parachute's technology is so complicated.

就连降落伞的技术也很复杂。

Why don't they land in the ocean?

为什么不降落在海里

Probably due to security reason.

可能是出于安全原因。

lt is simply because there are too many islands and not enough big open space in sea area near China，it is not like the ocean near Usa。

因为中国附近海域岛屿太多，没有足够大的开放空间，跟美国附近的海域不一样

Technically Shenzhou spaceships can actually land in the ocean. A search rescue team was deployed in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea just in case. However, its much easier to retrieve the spaceship on land

从技术上讲，神舟飞船是可以在海洋中着陆的。为了以防万一，在黄海和东海部署了搜救队。然而，宇宙飞船在陆地上着陆要容易得多

Although I am not Chinese but I am so proud of them. This is about science, technology and humanization. Not about races, no jealousy, no hatred and not politic. Congratulations to the team and good to see them safely return home. This is the pride of Asian and we are happy for them. Unless you are a China hater and suffering from sour grapes seeing them succeeded.

虽然我不是中国人，但我为他们感到骄傲。这是科学技术。没有种族，没有嫉妒，没有仇恨，也没有政治。恭喜中国团队，很高兴看到他们平安回家。
