NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers are preparing to conduct a spacewalk outside the International Space Station.
The spacewalk is scheduled to begin at approximately 8:15 a.m. EDT and last about six and a half hours.
During the spacewalk, the astronauts will install a mounting bracket for the future installation of additional solar arrays to increase power generation capability.
This will be the third spacewalk for McClain and the first for Ayers, with McClain serving as spacewalk crew member 1 and Ayers as crew member 2.
