Anne McClain Joins All-Female Spacewalk Team

Anne McClain went to space on Thursday. She had a chance to do a spacewalk after six years. She had a problem with her spacesuit before, but now she could go.

Anne McClain went with Nichole Ayers from NASA. They are both pilots and military officers. They went to the space station to replace other astronauts in March.

McClain saw strings on her glove before going out. The spacewalk was delayed for a short time. They wanted to be sure that her glove was safe to use.

The astronauts worked outside for about six hours. They helped to prepare the station. They also moved an antenna on the space station complex.

McClain was to have been in the 2019 all-female spacewalk. There were not enough suits that fit her then. Christina Koch and Jessica Meir were the first women to spacewalk together.
