Imagine that certainly will remain in the history, because let’s face it, not We never get used to seeing men walk in space.
And in the day today began the first of three spacewalks planned for the two American astronauts outside the International Space Station, after being delayed by a day due to a malfunction of the spacesuit: astronauts Barry Wilmore and Terry Virts carried out in 6 hours and 26 minutes a long list maintenance work outside the ISS, assisted by our Samantha Cristoforetti, which is not included in the program of extravehicular activity, but it was still trained to be able to do them in emergency fall.
Purpose the first issue is to provide a staging base for future docking space shuttles private, SpaceX and Boeing, which will transport astronauts to ISS from 2017 under a new contract with NASA. The new systems will be brought on the berthing space station later this year from the shuttle and Dragon will be installed later this year.
