NASA astronaut Jack Fischer will forever remember where he was on his very first spacewalk; fastened securely to Canadarm2. Jack Fischer’s venture outside the International Space Station (ISS) happens to coincide with a milestone occasion in space; the 200th spacewalk in ISS history. NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson will join Jack Fischer for the 6.5-hour excursion in space, planned for Friday, May 12.
The two astronauts are tasked with replacing a large avionics box that supplies electricity and data connections to the science experiments, and hardware stored outside the ISS. In addition to installing a new high-definition camera and a pair of wireless antennas, they will also do some work on an adapter that will support a new international docking port for the arrival of commercial crew spacecraft.
Live coverage will begin at 6:30 a.m. EDT on NASA Television
