China's Shenzhou-14 astronauts successfully completed extravehicular activities (EVAs) at 5:47 p.m. on Saturday, the China Manned Space Agency (CMS) announced.
During the EVAs, the crew carried out operations including installing a foot-stop, which is used for fixing astronauts' feet on the robotic arm, and an assist handle, which can help astronauts open the hatch door from outside in an emergency.
The astronauts also installed additional pumps, the core equipment of the space station's thermal control system, and carried out the most challenging task of extravehicular rescue for the first time.
