China's Shenzhou-20 crew aboard the Tiangong space station successfully completed their third extravehicular activity (EVA) on Friday, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) and Xinhua News Agency. The crew has been conducting a series of spacewalks since June 26, with the latest EVA involving the use of updated Feitian extravehicular spacesuits that were delivered recently. Over the course of their mission, the astronauts have made steady progress in space science experiments and technology demonstrations while maintaining good physical and mental health. The third EVA followed extensive preparation, including drills and testing of the new spacesuits. Meanwhile, Chinese space activities have seen a mix of successes and setbacks, including a failed flight test by the Chinese start-up LandSpace.
