China Conducts Secretive Space Walk

Marking the second extravehicular operation over the last three months, China reveals two of its astronauts had conducted a secretive space walk around the Tiangong space station, according to a media report on Friday.

According to China Manned Space Agency (CMSA), two members of the Shenzhou 15 crew, dubbed the “Dream Crew,” successfully, exit the space station completing the “scheduled tasks” with the help of another crew member, in support of ground members.

China’s announcement came in after the operation was successfully completed, which according to some media agencies raised concerns about China’s space agency’s whereabouts, deciding not to announce the recent outside-of-the-cabin outing.

Meanwhile, the Beijing Aerospace Control Centre’s file photo on 9, February claims Shenzhou-15 taikonaut Fei Junlong’s return to the space station Wentian laboratory module with equipment.

While CMSA notifies, the Shenzhou-15 taikonauts aboard China’s orbiting Tiangong space station completed the first spacewalk at 12.16 a.m. as per Beijing time on Friday.
