The Shenzhou-20 crew aboard China's orbiting space station will soon conduct the second round of extravehicular activities (EVA), the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) said on Wednesday.

The astronaut trio – Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie – completed their mission's first series of EVA in May. They have since carried out environmental monitoring and equipment maintenance aboard the space station, as well as inventory management and cargo transfers.

The China Space Station remains stable as the Shenzhou-20 crew marks two months in orbit on Wednesday, following their April 25 launch.
