Shenzhou VII Live Broadcast: Chinese astronaut Zhai Zhigang will conduct a 20-minute spacewalk at 16:30 today.

China's astronauts will carry out the country's first spacewalk at 4:30 PM on the afternoon of the 27th. It is estimated that from the opening of the舱(cabin?) door to closing it again, the time required for the Shenzhou VII extravehicular activity will be approximately half an hour to forty minutes, with around 20 minutes of this being spent on activities outside the cabin.
