The International Space Station is one seriously high-tech laboratory, but it can only remain useful as long as all of its systems are operating as intended. That means regular maintenance, and right now a pair of NASA astronauts are floating around outside the ISS, performing a number of key tasks, including the installation of a new docking port adapter that will make the space station compatible with new commercial spacecraft.
The spacewalk began at around 8:30 a.m. EST and was planned for six and a half hours, so you still have plenty of time to watch NASA’s Nick Hague and Andrew Morgan carry out their duties on NASA’s live stream.
