💨 Abstract

Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams has set a new record for the longest spacewalk by a woman, logging 62 hours and 6 minutes. Conducting a spacewalk with colleague Butch Wilmore on the International Space Station (ISS), they removed degraded radio communications hardware and collected samples to check for microorganisms. This was their ninth and fifth spacewalk respectively.
