Shenzhou-21 Crew Ready for First Spacewalk | China Space Station

The Shenzhou-21 crew is scheduled to carry out their first extravehicular activity in the coming days, pending for suitable conditions, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) said on December 4, 2025. 

Since entering the China Space Station complex on November 1, the Shenzhou-21 crew has completed handover procedures with the Shenzhou-20 crew, carried out station maintenance, emergency supply inspections and organization, and finished daily life and health support tasks. They also performed a full-system emergency pressure drill and on-orbit robotic arm training, while steadily advancing a series of space science experiments and tests. In addition, the crew welcomed the arrival of the Shenzhou-22 spacecraft, completing product compatibility checks and organizing up-linked supplies.

The CMSA said the space station is operating in a stable and smooth manner, and the Shenzhou-21 crew, while in good condition, is fully prepared for the upcoming spacewalk.
