Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, NASA astronauts, conducted a spacewalk on January 15 whose goal was to replace part of the solar battery of the International Space Station (ISS).
The North American Space Agency confirmed that those Americans successfully completed their homework after something more than five hours of work, in which they removed two of the nickel-hydrogen batteries from the IEE and installed some new and more efficient lithium batteries.
This is the first of two stages scheduled to change the last series of batteries to update the EEI power grid and it is planned to complete the second part of its mission on January 20.
Koch and Meir already made another spacewalk in October 2019, when they left the ISS and starred in the historical landmark of becoming the first women who made an exclusively feminine walk outside our planet to change a damaged energy controller.
In fact, Christina Koch is three weeks away from finishing her 11-month space mission and last December set another record by beating the brand established by the American Peggy Whitson and becoming the astronaut who spent more time in space: 289 consecutive days.
