Two American astronauts spent just over 7 hours outside the InternationalSpaceStation on Tuesday in what was NASA's first spacewalk since March.
American astronauts Frank Rubio and Josh Cassada returned to the interior of the International Space Station on Tuesday afternoon following a successful extravehicular activity lasting 7 hours and 11 minutes.
NASA livestreamed the entire EVA, at one point tweeting a spectacular view of Earth captured by Cassada’s helmet camera, with the caption: “We love an office with a view.” Tuesday’s EVA was the 254th spacewalk in support of space station assembly, upgrades, and maintenance work, since the ISS went into operation just over two decades ago.
Maurer was unharmed but NASA described it as a “close call” and decided to suspend ISS spacewalks while it conducted an investigation to find out exactly what happened.
