On Friday, the Shenzhou-20 crew successfully carried out their mission's third series of extravehicular activities (EVAs), marking another milestone for China's orbiting space station programme.
Spacewalks, or EVAs, are critical for station assembly, maintenance and scientific research. Stepping outside the station's modules isn't just about tightening bolts; it's a testament to months of intensive training and teamwork.
This third EVA follows two earlier spacewalks in the Shenzhou-20 mission, showcasing the astronauts' growing confidence in handling the station's external systems. Tasks likely included routine inspections and equipment upgrades to prepare for upcoming modules.
China's continued push into low Earth orbit adds a new chapter to the global space race, inspiring young innovators and space enthusiasts worldwide. As the station takes shape, its labs will host experiments in biology, materials science and more.
Next up, the crew will analyze data, share insights with ground teams and support the station's expansion phase. Their achievements highlight the spirit of exploration that unites people across borders and cultures.
