Live Coverage of U.S. Spacewalk Begins

Mark Garcia

Expedition 54 Flight Engineers Mark Vande Hei of NASA and Norishige Kanai of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency are preparing for their exit from the International Space Station's Quest airlock at approximately 7:10 a.m. EST to begin a planned six-and-a-half-hour spacewalk.

Coverage of the spacewalk is now underway on NASA Television and the agency's website.

The spacewalkers will move two Latching End Effector (LEE), or hands, for the Canadian-built robotic arm, Canadarm2. One will be moved to a long-term storage location for future use as a spare part, and the other will be brought inside the spaces to be returned to Earth to be refurbished and later relaunched to the orbiting laboratory as a spare.

Шестой "Космический урок": онлайн-трансляция

ГТРК «Томск»

Streamed live 1 hour ago

Сегодня, 16 февраля, для всех любителей космоса начнется новый "учебный год". ГТРК "Томск" совместно с РКК "Энергия" возобновляет череду космических уроков. Уже в шестой раз в режиме реального времени школьники из Томска, а также Сочи и Королева смогут пообщаться с действующими космонавтами МКС. В этот раз организаторы подготовили для участников сюрприз, который как нельзя лучше отразит тему урока "Космос и кино".

EVA48: The astronauts have two main goals today: the first is to remove a degraded robot arm grapple mechanism, known as a latching end effector, or LEE, fr om a mounting fixture called a POA on the arm's mobile base transporter

2m ago

EVA48: That LEE, removed fr om the arm during a spacewalk last October, will be moved inside the station for eventual return to Earth wh ere it will be refurbished

2m ago

EVA48: The second goal is to move another degraded but still-functional LEE, removed from the arm last month, from a storage platform to the mobile base POA wh ere it will be mounted for use in the future to hold equipment as required

Astronauts Step Outside Beginning Third Spacewalk of Year

Expedition 54 Flight Engineers Mark Vande Hei of NASA and Norishige Kanai of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency switched their spacesuits to battery power at 7 a.m. EST, signifying the official start of today's planned six-and-a-half-hour spacewalk outside the International Space Station.

Watch the spacewalk live on NASA Television and the agency's website.

Vande Hei is wearing the suit bearing the red stripes, and Kanai's suit has no stripes. Views from a camera on Vande Hei's helmet are designated with the number 18, and Kanai's is labeled with the number 17. Vande Hei is designated extravehicular crew member 1 (EV1) for this spacewalk, the fourth of his career. Kanai, embarking on his first spacewalk, is extravehicular crew member 2 (EV2). Kanai is only the fourth Japanese astronaut in history to conduct a spacewalk.

The first task for the two spacewalkers is to move a Latching End Effector (LEE), or hand, for the Canadian-built robotic arm, Canadarm2, from a payload attachment on the station's Mobile Base System rail car to the Quest airlock. This LEE was replaced during an Expedition 53 spacewalk in October 2017 and will be returned to Earth to be refurbished and relaunched to the orbiting laboratory as a spare.

Once they have completed that activity, they will move an aging, but functional, LEE that was detached from the arm during a Jan. 23 spacewalk and move it from its temporary storage outside the airlock to a long-term storage location on the Mobile Base System, which is used to move the arm and astronauts along the station's truss structure.
