The task has set a new record for the longest single spacewalk by Chinese astronauts. Ye and Li Guangsu, the two crew members assigned the spacewalk duty, have since returned safely to the Wentian lab module. This marked Ye's second extravehicular activity (EVA), following his initial spacewalk during the Shenzhou-13 mission, while Li Guangsu embarked on a spacewalk for the first time. <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/cmsa_shenzhou_18_052824_eva02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/cmsa_shenzhou_18_052824_eva02.jpg" width="400" height="222" border="0"></a></center> The mission will involve numerous other tasks, with the Shenzhou-18 crew set to engage in a slew of scheduled space science experiments and technical tests, while they will also undertake additional extravehicular activities and install payloads outside the space station, according to the CMSA.</blockquote>
