Two crew members will be roaming in open space, while another one will be operating from inside the spacecraft. Yaping will be operating from within the spacecraft.

The first spacewalk, which was on November 7, tested the functions of China's extravehicular spacesuits, as well as the reliability and safety of the complementary equipment which go hand-in-hand with the extravehicular activities. 

Since October 16, the crew has successfully completed a number of tasks which include medical checks, space experiments, daily maintenance of the space station, emergency evacuation, medical rescues, and space lectures.

The space station has started construction in April 2021 and is expected to finish in 2022.
