China launches spaceship to bring stuck astronauts back home | BBC News

China has launched a spacecraft to allow them to bring back three astronauts, stuck in the country’s space station, back to earth.

The unmanned Shenzhou-22 was not supposed to be launched until April next year.

But the crew on the space station currently have no way of returning home if there was an emergency because an earlier launch vehicle was declared unfit to fly after its window was cracked by suspected space debris.
