Chinese astronauts on Sunday successfully carried out the country's first spacewalk outside their space station -- a significant milestone in its rapidly expanding space program.
The spacewalk is only the second by Chinese astronauts since the Shenzhou 7 manned mission of 2008, which was conducted outside a spacecraft, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). China launched three astronauts -- Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, and Tang Hongbo -- into space in June. On Sunday morning, two of them left the core module of the space station, called Tiangong or Heavenly Palace, the CMSA said.More Related News
