NASA astronauts fix battery during spacewalk
NASA astronauts are set to conduct a spacewalk to complete the replacement of batteries on the International Space Station (ISS).
At 12:10 GMT, Expedition 61 crew members Jessica Meir and Christina Koch will venture from the safety of the ISS to carry out maintenance on the P6 Truss Structure.
It will be the third all-female spacewalk after Meir and Koch completed the first last year.
The second was completed last Wednesday, which means it’s probably quite safe to simply refer to it as a spacewalk from now on.
