Picture this, 400 kilometers above Earth, the Shenzhou-18 crew is anything but idle.
00:06
These astronauts aren't just floating around enjoying the view,
00:09
they're up to their necks in maintenance and science.
00:13
Last week, they got hands-on with their Fission spacesuits,
00:16
which aren't just fancy outfits,
00:18
they're full-on personal life support systems for spacewalks.
00:23
Keeping these things in top shape is crucial,
00:25
so the crew spent time inspecting and doing spacesuit drills.
00:29
Think of it as essential training, only in zero gravity.
00:32
But that's not all.
00:34
The crew's been capturing panoramic images and 3D scans of the space station's interior,
00:39
giving ground teams a detailed look at their floating home.
00:43
Launched on April 25th, the Shenzhou-18 crew's six-month stint
00:47
is all about pushing China's space program to the next level,
00:50
whether they're maintaining spacesuits or mapping out their orbiting lab.
00:54
It's busy, brilliant work up there.
