China's Shenzhou-19 crew aboard the nation's orbiting space station successfully completed their second series of extravehicular activities (EVAs) at 1:12 a.m. Beijing Time on Tuesday, as confirmed by the China Manned Space Agency.
Astronauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze worked collaboratively for 8.5 hours, accomplishing multiple tasks with the assistance of the space station's robotic arm and support from the ground team.
The EVAs are critical for maintaining and upgrading the space station, allowing astronauts to perform tasks in the vacuum of space. The successful completion of these activities demonstrates the crew's endurance and the effectiveness of China's space technology.
