ISS EVA on 2025 Jan 30 (NASA) Two astronauts completed a spacewalk outside the ISS Thursday. Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore spent about five and a half hours outside the station on the spacewalk, retrieving a malfunctioning antenna that two previous spacewalks had been unable to detach from the station's exterior. The astronauts also swabbed sections of the station to see if any microbial life can survive there. This was the fifth spacewalk for Wilmore and ninth for Williams, who has spent more than 62 hours in space on those spacewalks. She broke the record for cumulative spacewalking time by a female astronaut, a mark that had been held by Peggy Whitson.
