NASA astronauts finish a much-delayed spacewalk.
Reading
Suni Williams, the commander of the International Space Station, went on her first spacewalk since arriving seven months ago. She was joined by Nick Hague, and they worked on repairs while orbiting above Turkmenistan.
Williams got a close look at the SpaceX capsule that will bring her back to Earth. She had some difficulty with one task but managed to complete it without damaging the capsule.
Another spacewalk is planned for next week with Williams and Butch Wilmore. They were supposed to return home last summer, but their original capsule had problems.
Their return was further delayed because of SpaceX launch delays, so they won't be back until spring. This means they will have spent ten months in space instead of the original one week.
This spacewalk was the first one by NASA astronauts since last summer, when a leak occurred during a spacewalk. NASA has since fixed the problem and resumed spacewalks.
