On January 16, two NASA astronauts will embark on a significant mission outside the International Space Station (ISS), conducting U.S. spacewalk 91. This upcoming spacewalk is part of ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the ISS, ensuring it continues to support scientific research and international collaboration in space. Astronauts are set to perform essential tasks and installations that contribute to the station’s long-term functionality and safety.
Following spacewalk 91, the astronauts will participate in U.S. spacewalk 92, showcasing NASA’s commitment to advancing human activity in low Earth orbit. These ventures not only demonstrate technical skill and human ingenuity but also provide valuable experience that will be critical for future deep space missions, including eventual trips to the Moon and Mars.
Leading up to these events, NASA will hold a preview news conference to provide insights and details about the objectives and significance of the spacewalks. This engagement is part of NASA’s initiative to keep the public informed and excited about ongoing developments in space exploration.
Be sure to tune in for live coverage of these exciting spacewalks and witness history in the making as astronauts tackle challenges in the unique environment of space! Join the conversation with us as we celebrate human spaceflight and the dedicated astronauts making it possible.
