At 21:29 on June 26, Beijing time, after about 6.5 hours of extravehicular activities,The Shenzhou 20 crew astronauts Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie worked closely together, and with the support of the space station's robotic arm and ground scientific researchers, they successfully completed the set mission.The extravehicular astronauts Chen Dong and Chen Zhongrui successfully and safely returned to the Wentian experimental module, and the extravehicular activity was a complete success.
It is reported that during the extravehicular activity, astronauts Chen Dong and Chen Zhongrui completed the installation of space debris protection devices on the space station, inspection and disposal of extravehicular equipment and facilities, etc.
At the same time, the foot limit adapter and interface adapter were successfully installed on the extravehicular platform, which will help improve the efficiency of astronauts’ extravehicular operations and is expected to shorten subsequent extravehicular activities by about 40 minutes.
At present, various space science experiments undertaken by the crew are progressing steadily, and in the future, space scientific research and technology experiments will focus on space life sciences, basic microgravity physics, space materials science, aerospace medicine, and new aerospace technologies.
It is understood that at 17:17 on April 24, 2025, Beijing time, the Long March 2F Yao-20 carrier rocket carrying the Shenzhou 20 manned spacecraft was ignited and launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The spacecraft successfully entered the scheduled docking orbit. The astronaut crew was in good condition and the launch was a complete success.
This is the fifth manned mission in my country's manned space program that has entered the space station application and development stage, and the 35th launch mission since the project was established.
