NASA astronauts go to space hiking for the next few hours

According to RCO News AgencyNASA’s second spatial march is due to begin in the next few hours, and NASA astronauts will be tasked with recovering the external hardware of the International Space Station.

Suni Williams and Boch Wilmore, NASA astronauts, are set to start the International Space Station Space Station today (January 1) at 9am East Zone (9:00 pm) Do.

The event is broadcast live on NASA broadcasting platforms.

This space walk will become his tenth space walk after the ninth Space Walk of Williams, which performed on January 9 with Nick Hague, NASA, will become his tenth space walk. This space hiking will also be the fifth Willemore space walk.

The two astronauts will spend about 1.5 hours outside the International Space Station (ISS) to separate a piece of communication equipment and collect surface samples and follow the germs on the outside of the various space station modules.

At the top of Williams and Wilmor’s agenda for this space hiking, the separation of an S -band antenna will be returned to the ground for reconstruction. Astronauts tried to remove it during the previous space hiking; But it was unsuccessful in getting rid of its installation page.

Williams and Wilmor will use a new wrench designed to release the antenna clamps in this space walk, and we hope to enable astronauts to separate the hardware well.

After removing the protective cover, Williams will inspect the antenna, while Wilmeur will close his space clothing to the robotic arm of the station to move to help remove the piece. After the antenna is separated, Willemor also has the task of putting the piece in the station’s Quest.

In the next phase of the agenda of these astronauts, they will divide a set of things. The collection of surface samples is delegated to Williams, while Wilmeur regulates the robotic arm spare piece.

Williams will travel the station fences from Quet to the US Laboratory Module called Destiny. There, before returning to the quest to collect similar samples in various exterior locations around the air lock, he draws two valves on the outer part of the module. The samples will be tested outside the space station for microorganisms.

Wilmor is much shorter to carry out his mission. He regulates a large joint arm joint as a spare piece. His settings, if needed in the future, put this section in a better position for better access and recovery. Then both astronauts come back to the quest, close the air lock, and officially finish their space hiking.

Williams and Wilmor both arrived at the International Space Station in June last year with the first experimental flight of the Boeing StarLiner. The astronauts were only intended for a six -day mission, but there were problems with the starship spacecraft while anchor, which led to numerous delays in their return, and NASA eventually decided to return to the unmanned STAR.

They are now due to return to the ground shortly after the new crew with the Crew-1 mission, which will be carried out by SpaceX. These astronauts will return home from the space station with a completely new Crew Dragon spacecraft.
