The Shenzhou-18 crew members, who are currently on board China's space station, will conduct their second extravehicular activities (EVAs) within the next few days, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) announced on Tuesday.

Since their last EVA on May 28, the trio has been working on the maintenance and installation of experimental cabinets, in-cabin environmental monitoring, and preparations for the second spacewalk. They have also carried out experimental projects in the fields of space materials science, space life science, and aerospace medicine as part of their mission.

The crew's first spacewalk lasted for 8.5 hours. Taikonauts Ye Guangfu and Li Cong went outside the cabin to conduct inspection work and the installation of power protection racks.
