BEIJING, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) — The Shenzhou-21 crew aboard China’s orbiting space station completed their mission’s first series of extravehicular activities on Tuesday, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The astronaut trio — Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang — worked for approximately eight hours and completed their tasks at 6:45 p.m. (Beijing Time), assisted by the space station’s robotic arm and a team on Earth. Wu Fei is the youngest Chinese astronaut to carry out an extravehicular mission to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhang Lu and Wu Fei, tasked with conducting spacewalk operations, completed the inspection and photography of the Shenzhou-20 return capsule’s viewport window, the installation of a debris protection device for the space station, and the replacement of the multilayer cover on the thermal control adapter, according to the CMSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Shenzhou-21 crewed mission, planned extravehicular activities involving crew and applied payloads will also be conducted, as will scientific experiments and technical tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the situation determined, the crew may also undertake protective operations on the damaged window of the Shenzhou-20 spacecraft, according to the CMSA. \u25a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
