First Arab astronaut performs historic spacewalk outside ISS.

NASA astronaut Steve Bowen and Emirati astronaut Sultan Alneyadi completed a spacewalk outside the International Space Station to prepare the outpost for new solar arrays and retrieve a disabled S-band antenna for eventual return to Earth. Alneyadi became the first Arab astronaut to perform a spacewalk. The tasks for the spacewalk included completing preparations on the space station’s power truss for the arrival of two new roll-out solar arrays on a SpaceX cargo mission in June.
