Today, International Space Station crew members Drew Feustel and Ricky Arnold are conducting a 6.5-hour spacewalk outside the station. During the spacewalk Feustel and Arnold will install high-definition cameras that will provide enhanced views of spacecraft docking with the ISS, including new U.S. commercial crew spacecraft scheduled for flight testing later this year.

This marks the 211th spacewalk supporting assembly and maintenance of the ISS. View the spacewalk live on NASA’s website!
