More than 200 pieces of samples have been created through these experiments and tests and will be sent back to Earth with the Shenzhou XVII vessel.
The astronauts also carried out two spacewalks that completed the first extravehicular repair operation for the Tiangong, according to the agency.
In the next six months, the Tiangong station will be manned by the Shenzhou XVIII trio, headed by Senior Colonel Ye Guangfu, who arrived at the colossal flying outpost on Friday morning.
