Spacewalk with Astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara

Join NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara for an exciting spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS). This spacewalk will be the first for both astronauts and is expected to last about 6 1/2 hours. Moghbeli will wear a suit with red stripes, while O'Hara will wear an unmarked suit. You can track the astronauts' movements outside the ISS by looking for these stripes.

The astronauts will remove electronics gear from the ISS and replace hardware supporting the station's solar arrays. This is an important task that will help keep the ISS running smoothly.

Moghbeli and O'Hara conducted a pre-breathing exercise earlier this morning to prepare for the spacewalk. This consisted of two phases: in the first phase, the crew breathed 100% oxygen through a mask to begin purging the nitrogen from their bodies. In the second phase, the team entered their spacesuits and conducted an insult light exercise, IDLE.

We are excited to share this spacewalk with you! Be sure to watch the live broadcast and follow our blog for updates.
