NASA astronauts scheduled for spacewalks

Two NASA astronauts are expected to venture outside to install a European science platform on Wednesday, Jan. 27. 

The spacewalks will be broadcasted on NASA Television at 5:30 a.m. on that Wednesday, according to a press release from PR Newswire. 

"NASA Flight Engineers Michael Hopkins and Victor Glover, who flew to the space station aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience spacecraft, will conduct both spacewalks, which will be the 233rd and 234th in support of space station assembly, maintenance and upgrades," NASA states in the press release. 

Another spacewalk will take place on Monday, Feb. 1 to complete a variety of tasks including installing lithium-ion batteries to an adapter plate. 

"Hopkins and Glover will remove another grapple fixture bracket on the same truss segment, replace an external camera on the starboard truss, install a new high-definition camera on the Destiny laboratory, and replace components for the Japanese robotic arm's camera system outside the Kibo module," NASA states in the press release.
