At 00:55 am (Beijing Time), December 27, 2021, the Shenzhou-13 crew completed all tasks of the second EVAs successfully after around 6 hours. Astronauts Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu safely returned to the core module Tianhe, marking the complete success of the second EVAs.

This mission is the 4th EVAs for Chinese astronauts in the space station phase. During the EVAs, they completed the tasks of panoramic camera C lifting, foot restraint installation at the extravehicular operation point, related work efficiency verification, verification of transfer carrying objects, etc. And they further verified the functional performance of the airlock module of the core module, extravehicular spacesuits and robot arms and further assessed the EVAs-related technology, coordination between astronauts outside and inside the module and the ability of space and earth coordination, so as to further accumulate experience for subsequent EVAs.

Afterwards, the Shenzhou-13 crew will enter the next phase of on-orbit tasks and usher in the New Year in a "good" state. This will also be the first time for Chinese astronauts to celebrate the New Year in space.
