China returned the 10th batch of space-station science samples aboard Shenzhou-22 on April 29. Early on April 30, part of the payload arrived in Beijing and was handed to scientists. The shipment covers 23 experiments—9 life-science, 12 materials and 2 combustion—weighing about 41 kg. Life-science samples, including artificial embryos and brain organoids, were transferred to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Center for Space Application Engineering and Technology after inspection for follow-up research. Remaining materials and combustion samples will be delivered to Beijing with the Shenzhou-22 reentry capsule.
