Two Chinese astronauts performed a spacewalk Dec. 21 to perform repairs to the Tiangong space station. Mission commander Tang Hongbo and Tang Shengjie wrapped up a spacewalk lasting seven and a half hours at 8:35 am EST (1335 GMT). The astronauts conducted a repair test on one of the Tianhe core module's solar arrays that had previously suffered minor micrometeoroid damage. The third astronaut on the station, Jiang Xinlin, assisted operations from inside Tiangong through the use of the space station's robotic arm.
