NASA TV Broadcasts Science Upgrade Spacewalk on Wednesday<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins<\/a> and Victor Glover<\/a> are scheduled to depart the International Space Station<\/a>\u2019s Quest airlock Wednesday for the first in a series of spacewalks to upgrade station hardware and systems.<\/p>\n

The duo will set their spacesuits to battery power about 7:05 a.m. EST tomorrow, signifying the start of their spacewalk. NASA will begin its live coverage on NASA Television and the agency\u2019s website<\/a> at 5:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

During their spacewalk, the two astronauts will focus on completing cable and antenna rigging for the \u201cBartolomeo\u201d science payloads platform outside the ESA (European Space Agency) Columbus module. The duo also will configure a Ka-band terminal that will enable an independent, high-bandwidth communication link to European ground stations. After completing the upgrades on the Columbus module, Hopkins and Glover will remove a grapple fixture bracket on the far port (left) truss in preparation for future power system upgrades.<\/p>\n

The spacewalk will be the third in Hopkins\u2019 career and the first for Glover, and the\u00a0233rd spacewalk<\/a>\u00a0overall in support of space station assembly and maintenance. Hopkins will be designated extravehicular crew member 1 and wear a spacesuit bearing red stripes. Glover will be extravehicular crew member 2, wearing a suit with no stripes.<\/p>\n

Hopkins and Glover arrived at the space station in November as part of NASA\u2019s SpaceX Crew-1<\/a> mission.<\/p>\n
