First astronauts at China's new
space station conduct spacewalk
BEIJING : Astronauts at China's new space
station conducted their first spacewalk
Sunday, state media reported, as Beijing
presses on with its extraterrestrial ambitions.
It was only the second time the country's
astronauts have stepped out of their craft while
in space.
Three Chinese spacemen blasted off in June,
docking at the Tiangong station where they are
to remain for three months in China's longest
crewed mission to date.
On Sunday morning, two of them exited the
core cabin, said state broadcaster CCTV.
The first, Liu Boming, was transported via
mechanical arm to a work site and the other,
Tang Hongbo, moved by climbing on the
outside of the cabin.
Their mission involves elevating the
panoramic camera outside the Tianhe core
module, as well as verifying the robotic arm's
transfer capability, state media said.
Television footage showed the astronauts
preparing for the spacewalk by donning gear
and conducting health checks while exercising
in the cabin.
The astronauts were later shown opening
the cabin door and exiting the module, in the
first of two spacewalks planned for the
mission-both expected to last six or seven
hours.
The launch of China's first crewed mission in
nearly five years is a matter of huge prestige for
the country, as Beijing marks the 100th
anniversary of the ruling Communist Party
this month with a massive propaganda
campaign.
To prepare, the crew underwent more than
6,000 hours of training.
