Congratulations! Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping becomes China's first female taikonaut to conduct extravehicular activities (EVAs).

China launched its Shenzhou-13 astronauts, or taikonauts, on October 16. The trio entered the core module Tianhe of China's space station the same day, starting their planned six-month stay there.
