Shenzhou XIII taikonauts complete second EVAs
神舟十三号航天员乘组完成第二次出舱

Taikonauts Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu have completed their extravehicular activities (EVAs) and returned to the space station core module Tianhe, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) said early on Monday. This was the fourth round of EVAs during the construction of the country's space station and the second by the Shenzhou XIII crew. CMSA has declared the EVAs a complete success. CMSA said the pair returned to the core module at 0:55 Beijing time after about six hours of EVAs. 

据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，北京时间12月27日00时55分，经过约6小时，神舟十三号航天员乘组圆满完成出舱全部既定任务，航天员翟志刚、航天员叶光富安全返回天和核心舱，出舱活动取得圆满成功。此次是空间站阶段中国航天员第4次出舱、神舟十三号航天员乘组第二次出舱。

Wang Yaping stayed inside to work with the ground control center operating the mechanical arm and supporting the pair in their extravehicular operations. CMSA said extravehicular operations are becoming the normal work of space station flight missions. The Shenzhou XIII crew will continue their in-orbit work as they welcome the new year. This is also the first time that Chinese taikonauts will welcome a new year in space, CMSA added.
期间，驻守舱内的航天员王亚平配合地面控制中心操控机械臂，支持两名出舱航天员开展舱外作业。中国载人航天工程办公室称，实施舱外作业正在成为空间站阶段飞行任务工作常态。后续，神舟十三号航天员乘组将投入下一阶段在轨工作任务，迎接新年到来。这将是中国航天员首次在太空跨年。
