China News Service, Beijing, December 27 (Ma Shuaisha) According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, at 0:55 on December 27, Beijing time, after about 6 hours, the Shenzhou 13 astronaut crew was successfully completed. All the scheduled missions for the second exit, astronaut Zhai Zhigang and astronaut Ye Guangfu returned to the core module of Tianhe safely, and the exit activity was a complete success.
This is the fourth time that Chinese astronauts have exited the space station stage.
During the extravehicular activity, the astronauts successively completed tasks such as the elevation of the panoramic camera C, the installation of the foot stopper for the extravehicular operation point and the related ergonomic verification, and the verification of carry-over transfer. At the same time, they further verified the core cabin airlock cabin and the outer service. The functional performance of the robotic arm has further assessed the relevant technologies for exiting activities, the coordination of astronauts inside and outside the cabin, and the ability of space-to-earth coordination, and further accumulated experience for subsequent exiting activities.
In the follow-up, the Shenzhou 13 astronaut crew will be put into the next phase of on-orbit missions to welcome the new year with a "feel good" state. This will also be the first time a Chinese astronaut has spent the New Year in space.
