What to remember
Outside the Tiangong space station, on 17 December 2024, Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong worked for 9 hours 6 minutes straight in open space. No spacewalk has lasted longer.
The two members of the Shenzhou 19 mission were installing space debris protection devices on the station's exterior. It is a crewed spaceflight record, kept apart from those set by uncrewed missions.
