Space researchers retrieve several articles from the re-entry capsule of the Shenzhou VI spacecraft on Oct. 19 in Beijing.
Sixty-four articles were retrieved, including a national flag that marched with Chinese scientists on a polar expedition, a flag for the 2010 Shanghai Expo, stamps and art works by children and noted Chinese artists. The capsule, carrying taikonauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, landed on the Earth Monday, marking the success of China's second manned space mission.
