NASA Astronauts Continue the Series of Spacewalks for Power Upgrades

NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Andrew Morgan are today's spacewalkers.

Expedition 61 Flight Engineers Andrew Morgan and  Christina Koch of NASA will continue the series of spacewalks outside of the International Space Station at about 7:50 a.m. EDT to upgrade the station's solar array batteries. Watch the spacewalk coverage now on NASA TV and the agency's website.

This is the second of five battery replacement spacewalks in October. Koch and Morgan performed the first spacewalk on Oct. 6. This series of spacewalks is dedicated to replacing batteries on the far end of the station's port truss. The existing nickel-hydrogen batteries will be upgraded with newer, more powerful lithium-ion batteries transported to the station aboard the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle, which arrived Saturday, Sept. 28. These spacewalks continue the overall upgrade of the station's power system that began with similar battery replacement during spacewalks in January 2017.

This will be the 220th spacewalk in support of space station assembly and maintenance. Morgan will be designated extravehicular crewmember 1 (EV 1), wearing the suit with red stripes. Koch will be designated extravehicular crew member 2 (EV 2), wearing the suit with no stripes. Morgan's helmet camera will carry the number 18 and Koch's helmet camera will carry the number 11.

NASA is preparing to conduct as many as 10 spacewalks in the next three months, a pace that has not been experienced since International Space Station assembly was completed in 2011. Both the crew and the equipment they need has been prepared to meet this demand.

The next spacewalks dedicated to the battery upgrades are scheduled on Oct. 16, 21 and 25.

After completion of the battery spacewalks, the second half of this sequence of spacewalks will focus on repairs to the space station's Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. Dates for those spacewalks still are being discussed, but they are expected to begin in November.[

All of the U.S. segment crewmembers that will be in space during this time – Christina Koch, Jessica Meir, Andrew Morgan and Luca Parmitano – are expected to take part in conducting the spacewalks.

Koch now outside at 1149 UTC. Now they'll head out to the port end of the station truss to continue the battery work on the P6 segment's 2B IEA unit.

The Second Power Upgrage Spacewalk Has Begun

NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Andrew Morgan are today's spacewalkers.

Two NASA astronauts switched their spacesuits to battery power this morning at 7:38 a.m. EDT. Expedition 61 Flight Engineers Christina Koch and Andrew Morgan of NASA continue with the second in a series of five planned spacewalks dedicated to replacing batteries on the far end of the International Space Station's port truss. The existing nickel-hydrogen batteries will be upgraded with newer, more powerful lithium-ion batteries transported to the station aboard the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle, which arrived Saturday, Sept. 28. Morgan is designated extravehicular crewmember 1 (EV 1), wearing the suit with red strips, and with the helmet camera labeled #18. Koch is designated extravehicular crew member 2 (EV 2), wearing the suit with no stripes, and with helmet camera #11.

The batteries store power generated by the station's solar arrays to provide power to the station when the station is not in the sunlight, as it orbits the Earth during orbital night.

Watch the spacewalk on NASA TV and on the agency's website.

Here is the port side of the truss. In the foreground, the two solar panels on P4. They are called 2A and 4A.  At the end is P6, with arrays 2B and 4B.  The robot arm is holding the pallet with the new batteries.

Астронавты Морган и Кук вышли в открытый космос для замены батарей на МКС
15:23 11.10.2019

ВАШИНГТОН, 11 окт - РИА Новости. Астронавты НАСА Эндрю Морган и Кристина Кук вышли на внешнюю поверхность Международной космической станции для замены батарей, НАСА ведет прямую трансляцию планового выхода в открытый космос.

Формально, по информации НАСА, выход в открытый космос начался в 14.38 мск, когда астронавты перевели скафандры на автономное питание. После выхода из шлюзового отсека "Квест" Морган и Кук направляются к месту выполнения сегодняшних работ.

НАСА осуществляет постепенную замену аккумуляторных батарей в системе электропитания американского сегмента станции с 2017 года. Серия из пяти выходов в открытый космос, запланированных на октябрь, должна завершить эти работы. Планируется, что до конца года НАСА проведет еще пять выходов астронавтов на внешнюю поверхность станции.
