BEIJING - China's Shenzhou XIII mission crew is scheduled to carry out their second extra-vehicular activity, or spacewalk, on Sunday , according to the China Manned Space Agency.

The Shenzhou XIII mission was launched on Oct 16 by a Long March 2F carrier rocket that blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northwestern China's Gobi Desert, with the crew soon entering the Tiangong space station. They are scheduled to spend six months working in the station, making it China's longest space mission.

The mission crew completed its first spacewalk on Nov 8, with Col Wang, 41, becoming China's first female spacewalker. Shenzhou XIII is the fourth spacecraft to visit the Tiangong station, and also the second crewed ship to transport astronauts to the orbiting outpost.
