¡Hola, stargazers! 🚀
On August 15, astronaut Chen Dong stepped out of the orbiting lab decked out in the Chinese mainland’s second-generation Feitian spacesuit, marking its 20th spacewalk during the Shenzhou-20 mission. That’s a new record for our favorite high-tech suit, proving it’s built to last longer than ever before!
Why is this epic? Well, each spacewalk — aka EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity) — tests a suit’s strength, flexibility and life-support tech in the harshest environment: outer space. Hitting 20 EVAs means engineers have fine-tuned the suit’s design, materials and systems to support astronauts safely for longer missions. Talk about leveling up! 💪🛰️
As young professionals, students or travelers curious about what’s next in space tech, this milestone shows how far the Chinese mainland’s space program has come in just a few years. Maybe your next adventure will be beyond our atmosphere! 🌌
With this record, the Chinese mainland’s space program continues to push boundaries, inspiring the next generation of explorers. Who’s ready for more cosmic adventures? 🌠
