Extravehicular activity refers to the mission that astronauts use extravehicular spacesuits to leave the pressurized module of a spacecraft, walk outside the spacecraft or on the planetary surface and carry out the relevant operations. In order to meet the requirements of long-term on-orbit safe and reliable operation, the space station must have the capability of on-orbit maintenance and assembly. Astronauts are required to complete a series of extravehicular operation tasks, such as structural assembly, on-orbit replacement, on-orbit maintenance and other tasks that cannot be completed by a remotely controlled robot alone. The technology of extravehicular activity has become an indispensable key technology to support the operation of the space station and expand its application services.
