Shenzhou-19 Crew Completes Second Spacewalk | China Space Station

Members of the Shenzhou-19 crew aboard China's orbiting space station completed their mission's second series of extravehicular activities (EVAs) at 1:12 a.m. (Beijing Time) on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).

Shenzhou-19 astronauts arrived at the Tiangong Space Station in late October 2024.

In their first EVAs on December 17, 2024, Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong set a new world record for the longest single spacewalk, spending nine hours outside the Tiangong space station. They worked on several tasks including the installation of protection devices against space debris. This feat exceeded the previous spacewalk record set by two American astronauts two decades ago.
