Chinese astronauts Nie Haisheng and Liu Boming stepped out of the space station core module Tianhe by 10:12 a.m. (Beijing Time) on Friday to conduct extravehicular activities (EVAs) for a second time, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).

They completed the installation of foot limiter and extravehicular workbench on the robotic arm. The two astronauts cooperated with each other to install relevant equipment outside the space station with the aid of the robotic arm. Astronaut Tang Hongbo in the capsule supported the two astronauts to carry out their EVAs.
