The Shenzhou-17 crew, aboard China's Tiangong space station, has successfully completed their second extravehicular activity (EVA), announced by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). The astronauts, Tang Hongbo and Jiang Xinlin, performed the spacewalk, which lasted approximately eight hours, starting at around 05:32 UTC on March 2. This second EVA marked the first time Chinese astronauts have conducted maintenance tasks on extravehicular facilities of an in-orbit spacecraft. The primary objective of the spacewalk was to repair the Tianhe solar arrays, which had suffered damage from collisions with micro particles. The crew is reported to be in good health and is expected to return to Earth in late April.
