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