CCTV News: According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, at 20:50 Beijing time on March 21, 2025, the astronauts of the Shenzhou 19 crew successfully completed the third out-of-cabin event.
This out-of-cabin activity lasted about 7 hours. Astronauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze, the crew of Shenzhou 19, worked closely together to complete the installation of space debris protection devices and extra-cabin auxiliary facilities, and the inspection of extra-cabin equipment facilities with the cooperation and support of the space station robotic arms and ground scientific researchers. Astronauts Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong have returned to Wentian Experimental Cabin safely, and the outgoing activity has been a complete success. Astronaut Cai Xuzhe has completed five out-of-cabin activities, becoming the Chinese astronaut with the most missions outside the cabin.
The "space business trip" of the Shenzhou 19 astronaut crew has been nearly 5 months, and various space science practical (test) experimental tasks are progressing smoothly. According to the plan, the crew will return to Earth's home in more than a month.
