CORRECTION: The time indicated as 03:02 UTC, no correspondence to the time the two taikonauts left [Tianhe], but correspondence to the time they installed the platform.

according to a friend tells me, this is a repetition too and the two taikonatutas are already inside the [Tianhe] module.

indeed, it has just been seen from the control room that the two taikonatuas are already inside the station.

The Tianlian data coverage has a gap when Tianhe is above South America. At 06 July a new Tianlian satellite will launch to space.

CNSA does not yet have 24-hour live transmission from Thiane, but on July 6 they will launch the Tianlian 1-05 satellite that will serve to transmit data from Thiane to the ground and thus reduce the times in which they do not receive data.

That is why at the beginning of the broadcast, live video transmission with the taikonatuas outside of thian, but then they placed the replay and the commentary as if it were live.

Observed CSS/Tiangong pass over Los Angeles this evening at ~21:16 PDT / 04:16 GMT while EVA was apparently underway. Saw at least one, very noticeable, instantaneous increase in brightness when station was almost directly overhead, likely glint off of solar panels or possibly off of EVA-related equipment.

It is confirmed that the second spacewalk in China and the first in the new Chinese space station had a duration of 6 hours and 46 minutes (00:11-06:57 UTC), this is a big difference compared to the first which lasted 20 minutes.

Liu Ming and Tang Hongbo are already retiring their EVA suits.

"Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo made a spacewalk to the Chinese space station on Sunday.
The airlock was opened at 00:11 UTC.
Liu Boming's first sentence at the exit: Wow, it's too beautiful outside !"

centaurinasa · « **Reply #35 on:** 07/04/2021 08:26 am »

Seems like the duration of this EVA is 6 hours 46 minutes. (but depending on how the chinese determine the start and end of their EVA)
Liu Boming with red stripes, Tang Hongbo with blue stripes.
During the EVA, Liu was on the robotic arm manipulated by Nie Haisheng who remained inside Tianhe.
In addition to testing the new space suits and the robotic arm, the objective was to set up supports ,install a panoramic camera (that was folded during the launch) and and tested an emergency return to the airlock.

The first extravehicular activity on the China Space Station

The mission control center seems to be named "Shuguang" - if I heard correctly from the narrator - which is meaningful.

Stan Black · « **Reply #38 on:** 07/04/2021 10:02 pm »

So one difference to the way Russians do E.V.A., is that the individual inside Tianhe did not have access to Shenzhou?

What's the meaning, for non-Chinese speakers?
