The spacewalk concluded at 1:12 a.m. Beijing Time on Tuesday after 8.5 hours of meticulous work.
Astronauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze ventured outside the space station to perform multiple tasks, leveraging the assistance of the station's robotic arm and the ground support team. Their endeavors mark a significant milestone in the Chinese mainland's ongoing advancements in space exploration.
The trio worked seamlessly to conduct operations essential for the maintenance and expansion of the space station's capabilities. The successful completion of these EVAs underscores the growing expertise and confidence of Chinese astronauts in conducting complex space missions.
The China Manned Space Agency commended the astronauts for their dedication and the efficient execution of the planned activities. Such missions not only contribute to the Chinese mainland's space ambitions but also enhance international understanding of long-duration human spaceflight and extravehicular operations.
As China continues to develop its space station, missions like Shenzhou-19 play a crucial role in establishing a sustained human presence in orbit and fostering advancements in space science and technology.
