NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon are conducting a spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS).
The mission's specific objectives remain a point of contention among sources. Some reports indicate the purpose of the spacewalk is to perform software updates on the ISS, while other reports state the mission is intended to prepare for the installation of new solar arrays to increase the station's electrical production capacity.
During the spacewalk, the astronauts will install hardware to allow modifications to the 3B power channel of the ISS.
6.5 hours
Planned duration of the spacewalk
The spacewalk is being broadcast live via NASA's website and YouTube channel.
