Spacewalk in progress. Watch astronauts @astro_josh (suit with red stripes) and Frank Rubio (unmarked suit) install new @Space_Station rollout solar arrays. The spacewalk is expected to last seven hours. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
@NASA @astro_josh @Space_Station EVA that lasts seven hours, is that a record?
@RichardTKoenig We usually plan for a seven-hour spacewalk, though they can go longer or shorter. Astronauts Susan Helms and Jim Voss hold the record for longest spacewalk at 8 hours and 56 minutes (March 10, 2001).
@NASA Thanks so much for the information. Just sitting here on my couch thinking about this—putting in a work day in space. So impressive; these folks have their stuff together (I'm given to understatement).
@NASA @RichardTKoenig May the go into the space station if they are exhausted due to some reason?
