Chinas Shenzhou-19 crew conducted 3 spacewalks and 6 in-and-out payload transfer tasks during their remain at the China Space Station.
They set a world record for the longest single spacewalk, which lasted 9 hours, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) revealed on Wednesday.The 3 members of the crew, Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze, have actually been in orbit for 175 days, with all operations advancing smoothly and the three astronauts in great condition, according to the CMSA.Cai has actually now completed five spacewalks, making him the Chinese astronaut who has actually performed the most extravehicular activities.
Tune became the first Chinese astronaut born in the 1990s to perform a spacewalk, while Wang became the very first female aerospace flight engineer to go into the area station.Notably, throughout a previous freight setup job, the payload adapter became unexpectedly stuck.
The Shenzhou-19 crew effectively solved the concern during their very first spacewalk, playing a crucial function in ensuring the smooth development of subsequent experiments.
