A pair of spacewalking astronauts successfully wraps up battery improvements outside the International Space Station, completing a job begun last fall.
In this image take from NASA video, astronauts Jessica Meir, right, and Christina Koch install batteries for the International Space Station's solar power grid during a space walk Monday, Jan. 20, 2020.
This marked the women’s third spacewalk together. They conducted the world’s first all-female spacewalk last October, replacing a failed charging device that bumped the battery replacements into this year. During last Wednesday’s spacewalk, Koch’s helmet lights and camera came loose. She later found a faulty latch in the helmet assembly and replaced it before floating out Monday.
Another batch of six new batteries will be launched to the orbiting lab this spring to complete the power upgrade. The old batteries, meanwhile, will be discarded in a supply ship.
