Hey space fans! 🚀
China's Shenzhou-21 crew is gearing up for their first extravehicular activity (EVA) since docking at the space station on November 11, per the China Manned Space Agency. Astronauts Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang have been busy:
- Handover with Shenzhou-20 crew 👋
- Station maintenance & inspections 🔧
- Emergency drills and health checks ❤️
- Robotic arm training 🤖
- Key science experiments in microgravity 🔬
They also welcomed the uncrewed Shenzhou-22 for supply tests and organizing new gear. All systems are go, and the trio is in top shape. The upcoming spacewalk will boost station upgrades and push frontier research even further! 🌌
Stay tuned for updates from orbit as they suit up for this epic first EVA. Whether you're coding the next big app in Bangalore or designing drones in Jakarta, this mission is a reminder of what we can achieve together across borders.
