The space station’s solar arrays are now fully functional, according to Xinhua, noting that the damage resulted from the “impact of space debris on the solar wing’s power cables.” A Shenzhou 17 crew member repairing the solar panels during a recent spacewalk.
It was the second extravehicular activity, or spacewalk, of the ongoing Shenzhou 17 crewed mission at China's Tiangong space station. A pair of Chinese astronauts spent eight hours outside their space station last weekend to carry out repairs on the facility.
China’s Tiangong space station has executed several maneuvers to avoid space debris, Lin Xiqiang, deputy director of CMSA, said during a recent press conference, as Xinhua reports. The latest incident has prompted the Chinese space agency to adopt preventative measures to mitigate the risks of space debris.

Solar panel
Solar array mounted on a rooftop. A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. These electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries.
