According to China Manned Space Engineering Office news, at 13:35 on September 17, 2022 Beijing time, astronaut Cai Xuzhe successfully opened the Wentian experimental cabin airlock cabin exit door.
Since the successful completion of the first exit activity on September 2, 2022, the Shenzhou 14 astronaut crew has successively completed the recovery of the exit activity, the test and operation of the robotic arm, and the preparation for the second exit activity. Materials research, higher plant cultivation and other space science (experimental) experimental projects. At present, the Shenzhou 14 astronaut crew is in good condition, the space station assembly is running stably, and it has the conditions to carry out extravehicular activities.
On June 5, the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft was successfully launched. Three astronauts, Chen Dong, Liu Yang, and Cai Xuzhe, have since started a six-month mission. Since entering the space station complex, the Shenzhou 14 astronaut crew has successively completed the material transfer of the cargo spacecraft, the on-orbit test of the Wentian capsule platform, the unlocking and testing of the scientific experiment cabinet, the unlocking and on-orbit testing of the small robotic arm, and the combination of the space station. It has carried out daily work such as on-orbit medical examinations, weightlessness protection exercises, and space science experiments (tests), and conducted on-orbit training projects such as on-orbit emergency evacuation drills, small robotic arm operations, and medical rescue drills.
At 0:33 on September 2, after about 6 hours of outboard activities, Shenzhou 14 astronauts Chen Dong, Liu Yang, and Cai Xuzhe worked closely together to complete all the scheduled tasks during the outboard activities, and the outboard activities were a complete success.
