This week will see two astronauts perform a spacewalk from the International Space Station as they collect samples from the station’s exterior to use in scientific research.
The two astronauts will be NASA’s Loral O’Hara and European Space Agency ’s Andreas Mogensen, and the spacewalk will take place on Thursday, October 12.
Recommended Videos What to expect from the spacewalk Spacewalks are typically performed to perform maintenance on the station, such as the series of upgrades to the power system which have involved astronauts installing new solar panels to the station’s exterior over the last few years. But this event will be a little different, as its purpose is for scientific research as well as maintenance.
To search for microorganisms on the outside of the station, the astronauts will use swabs which they will pass over external surfaces using special tools. These swabs can then be tested for the presence of bacteria or other types of microbes, to see whether anything has survived in the harsh environment outside the station.
