Shenzhou 12 successfully undocked from the Tianhe core module on 16 September 2021 and subsequently performed a radial rendezvous test with the Tianhe core module, which was completed on the same day. The reentry module returned to Earth on 17 September 2021. At 92 days, the mission set a new national human spaceflight duration record, surpassing Shenzhou 11's 33 days.
