In a remarkable feat of endurance and teamwork, the Shenzhou-19 crew aboard China's orbiting space station successfully completed their mission's second extravehicular activities (EVAs), spending 8.5 hours working outside their spacecraft.
At precisely 1:12 a.m. Beijing Time on Tuesday, astronauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze concluded the extensive operation, which was conducted under the guidance of the China Manned Space Agency.
The trio ventured into the vacuum of space to perform multiple critical tasks, supported by the space station's robotic arm and the dedicated ground team. Their efforts contribute significantly to the ongoing development and maintenance of China's ambitious space station project.
The successful completion of these EVAs not only demonstrates the astronauts' exceptional skills and stamina but also marks another milestone in China's advancing space exploration endeavors.
The Shenzhou-19 mission continues to build on the achievements of its predecessors, as China solidifies its position in the global space race, offering new opportunities for scientific research and international cooperation.
