Shenzhou XVI crew completes 1st spacewalk

The Shenzhou XVI crew arrived at the Tiangong space station on May 30 to take over the massive orbital outpost from their Shenzhou XV peers, who had stayed there for six months.

Their journey is the debut flight of China's third generation of astronauts. Zhu and Gui belong to the third generation. It is also the first time a Chinese civilian has traveled to space, as Gui is a nonmilitary astronaut.

As of Thursday, Jing and his team have worked for 52 days and are in good condition. They will live inside the space station for around five months and are scheduled to return to Earth in November.
