NASA astronauts to embark on spacewalk Friday at International Space Station - WPTV.com

A pair of astronauts will embark on a seven-hour spacewalk Friday, the first spacewalk of 2019.

NASA said flight engineers Nick Hague and Anne McClain are scheduled to start their spacewalk at the International Space Station around 8:05 a.m.

They'll venture outside the station's Quest airlock to replace nickel-hydrogen batteries with newer, more powerful lithium-ion batteries on the ISS's orbiting laboratory.

NASA said this spacewalk, the first of three, is part of an overall upgrade of the International Space Station's power system.
