BEIJING, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) — The crew of China's Shenzhou-20 manned space mission, aboard the Chinese space station, successfully completed the fourth round of extravehicular activity on Friday, the China Manned Space Administration (CMSA) said.
Three Chinese astronauts – Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie – worked for about six hours and completed the mission at 01:35 Beijing time, with the support of the space station's robotic arm and a ground support team.
Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie, who are responsible for conducting extravehicular activities, installed the space debris protection device and carried out external equipment checks, the CMSA noted.
The CMSA emphasized that this was the first time that two members of China's third astronaut group had performed a spacewalk together.
So far, the Shenzhou-20 crew in orbit has completed four spacewalks, making it one of two Chinese crews to have completed the most spacewalks.
The Shenzhou-20 crew has been in orbit for over 150 days. According to the plan, they will also conduct numerous scientific experiments and technological tests.
Three astronauts will celebrate the upcoming National Day (PRC National Day, October 1) and the traditional Zhongqiu Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival or Moon Festival, which falls on October 6 this year) on China's Tiangong space station, the CMSA said. -0-
