NASA Plans for More All-Woman Spacewalks in the Future

NASA has announced that an all-woman spacewalk is scheduled for later this month, marking only the fourth time in history that an extravehicular activity (EVA) will be conducted by two women astronauts. The spacewalk, set for October 30, was delayed due to a leak on the International Space Station (ISS). NASA officials have stated that this will not be the last all-woman spacewalk, as the agency continues to prioritize diversity and inclusion in space exploration. The upcoming spacewalk will focus on maintenance tasks, including the removal of a faulty electronics box and the replacement of a bearing assembly on the solar alpha rotary joint.
