NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Nick Hague are set to step outside the International Space Station (ISS) for a spacewalk.
Suni Williams stepped out on a spacewalk Thursday, her first since arriving at the International Space Station seven months ago.
One of the two astronauts stranded at the International Space Station (ISS) has taken their first space walk since arriving at the station nearly seven months ago. Suni Williams went for the space walk on Thursday, Jan. 16 to help NASA’s Nick Hague with some outside repair work, according to the Associated Press.
After a gap of more than a year, NASA successfully resumed spacewalks outside the International Space Station on Thursday. NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Suni Williams, dressed in pressurized NASA spacesuits, moved through the Quest airlock and into the vacuum of space.
The pictures were taken inside the International Space Station last week, when Sunita Williams and Nick Hague donned spacesuits to carry out “fit checks.”
Sunita Williams, one of the NASA astronauts stuck in space, ventured out to conduct essential maintenance tasks on the International Space Station (ISS).
During this spacewalk, Williams and Hague will step out to replace a rate gyro assembly which provides orientation control for the space station. They will install patches to cover the damaged areas of light filters for Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER),
