Two astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have completed a planned spacewalk (or Extravehicular Activity — EVA) to replace a failing component of the station’s communication system.
The spacewalk got underway at 11:15 UTC — 55 minutes ahead of the planned timeline — when NASA astronauts Thomas Marshburn and Kayla Barron took their spacesuits to battery power — the event that marks the start of US EVAs. The spacewalk concluded 6 hours 32 minutes later at 17:47 UTC.
