taikonaut Zhai Zhigang conducting extravehicular activities (EVAs) out
of the space station core module Tianhe. Taikonauts Zhai Zhigang and
Wang Yaping have been out of China's space station core module Tianhe by
8:28 p.m. (Beijing Time) Sunday to start EVAs, the China Manned Space
Agency said. Zhai opened the hatch of Tianhe's node cabin at 6:51 p.m.
This is the second time Zhai has performed EVAs, having completed
China's first spacewalk 13 years ago during the Shenzhou-7 mission.
Meanwhile, Wang's EVAs make her the country's first female astronaut to
leave footprints in outer space. Donning China-developed new-generation
Feitian spacesuits, the pair will conduct a series of extravehicular
tasks with the aid of the mechanical arm, the agency noted. Ye Guangfu
stayed inside to support his crewmates in completing the operations.
