They worked together closely with the support of the space station&#8217;s robotic arm and scientific researchers on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>A spacewalk was conducted by Tang Hongbo and Jiang Xinlin, who have since returned safely to the Wentian lab module.<\/p>\n<p>China launched the Shenzhou-17 manned spaceship on Oct. 26, 2023. Its crew conducted a repair test in their first extravehicular mission on Dec. 21 last year.<\/p>\n<p>During their second extravehicular mission, the three taikonauts completed maintenance work on the Tianhe core module&#8217;s solar wings, addressing the impact of small space particles. According to the agency, the solar wing&#8217;s power generation function is operating normally after evaluation and analysis.<\/p>\n<p>It was the first time the taikonauts completed the in-orbit maintenance of extravehicular facilities. The Shenzhou-17 crew also inspected the status of the space station&#8217;s modules during their spacewalk.<\/p>\n<p>The three taikonauts are scheduled to carry out a variety of space science and technology experiments during the remainder of their space journey, the agency said. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-64129\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/png\/zvs5asxyiwujx7jy.jpeg.png\" alt=\"This screen image captured at Beijing Aerospace Control Center on March 2, 2024 shows Shenzhou-17 astronaut Tang Hongbo performing extravehicular activities.
