The Shenzhou-18 crew members on board China's orbiting space station completed their first spacewalk on Tuesday. Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu worked for about eight-and-a-half hours in completing multiple tasks, including the installation of space debris protection devices, and were assisted by the space station's robotic arm and a team on Earth.
