China's Shenzhou-20 astronauts are set to embark on their second extravehicular activity (EVA) aboard the Tiangong space station, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) announced Wednesday. The mission marks another milestone in China's rapidly advancing space program, drawing global attention to its technological capabilities.
The crew – Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie – have maintained rigorous operations since their April 25 launch, completing their first spacewalk in May and conducting critical tasks ranging from environmental monitoring to cargo management. With the space station operating stably after two months in orbit, officials confirm the team remains in peak physical and mental condition for upcoming challenges.
This mission underscores China's growing prominence in space exploration, offering new opportunities for international collaboration in scientific research. The EVA will likely involve testing next-generation equipment and conducting experiments with implications for long-term space habitation – developments closely watched by researchers and space agencies worldwide.
