How do we watch the astronauts out of space this week?

This week, the two Russian cosmonauts from the International Space Station will conduct a second spacewalk to continue integrating the new Russian unit Nauka with the rest of the International Space Station. Here’s how to watch this version live.

It was the Russian Nauka unit, also called MLM (Multipurpose Laboratory Unit) Docked at the International Space Station on July 29 the most recent. It had taken off on July 21 after nearly fifteen years of delay. However, it did not arrive as planned. About three hours after docking with the ISS, the unit’s engines re-ignited and turned the ISS off its axis. Fortunately, the astronauts kept calm and immediately corrected the problem after turning on the International Space Station’s engines to correct the situation.

Docking the Nauka module to the International Space Station does not mean that it is already fully integrated with the space station. In fact, there are several important steps to follow to fully integrate it. These steps include space walk For cable connection, ramp installation, etc. This is what the two Russian cosmonauts are preparing to do this week.
