The Shenzhou XII mission crew carried out on Sunday the country s first extravehicular activity, commonly known as a spacewalk, in 13 years by working about seven hours outside the core module of China s permanent space station.
After hours of preparations on early Sunday morning, Major General Liu Boming floated out of the module, named Tianhe, or Harmony of Heavens, at 8:11 am to start the challenging spacewalk as the module was circling the Earth in an orbit about 390 kilometers above the ground. Senior Colonel Tang Hongbo was in the service cabin to assist Liu and later flew out of Tianhe at 11:02
