NASA Astronaut Jessica Meir: Spacewalk Preparations | International Space Station

Expedition 74 flight engineer and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir: "Join me in the International Space Station's airlock! We’re T-2 days until our next Expedition 74 spacewalk. NASA Astronaut Chris Williams and I will venture outside on Tuesday to repair one of the joints on the Canadarm2, our robotic arm outside the ISS. Wish us luck . . ."

Williams and Meir will spend about six hours and 40 minutes in the vacuum of space replacing a malfunctioning wrist joint on the Canadarm2 that has been in operation since it was installed on April 26, 2001. This will be the duo’s second spacewalk together. The spacewalk is scheduled for June 30, 2026, with the astronauts set to turn their spacesuits to battery power at 8:35 a.m. signifying the beginning of their spacewalk.
