NASA’s first all-female spacewalk to be held later this week

NASA's first all-female spacewalk has been rescheduled and will be held later this week owing to a failure of one of the power controllers over the weekend, the US space agency said.

NASA on Tuesday announced that the much-awaited all-female spacewalk will finally take place later this week. NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir have been selected by the US space agency to venture outside the International Space Station (ISS) for replacing a power controller on the coming Thursday or Friday.
