NASA Sets Spacewalk for Station Maintenance, Live Coverage Planned

The mission ensures spacecraft can safely navigate and dock with the station by replacing a retroreflector. This maintenance prevents failures during critical docking operations.

Jessica Meir and Sophie Adenot will replace a retroreflector on the forward port of the Harmony module to support spacecraft navigation during rendezvous and docking operations.
The crew will install jumper cables for data-relay systems, prepare the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer radiator for future maintenance, and replace a high-definition camera on the station's truss.
Live coverage begins at 7 a.m. EDT; the spacewalk is expected to start at approximately 8:30 a.m. and last about six and a half hours.
The excursion will be the 284th spacewalk supporting space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.
