On July 9th, at 10 a.m., the first incandescent fire meteor appeared in the skies above the South Asian Subcontinent.
It was the command capsule of Dawn III, which was decelerating by skipping across the atmosphere at about 20 times the speed of sound, with its altitude constantly fluctuating.
The Yuanwang Five Measuring Ship, which had just completed its docking and resupply in Malay, precisely calculated the spacecraft's intended splashdown area, almost coinciding with the predetermined location.
However, the astronauts aboard the spacecraft were unaware of these details. Unlike a space shuttle, it was difficult for them to know their exact landing point at the moment, as they were still recovering their senses after the recent tumbling.
