NASA's Space to Ground: "Science, Spacewalks & Starliner"

Week of June 21, 2024: NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. 

NASA Flight Engineers Tracy C. Dyson and Mike Barratt are getting ready for the first spacewalk of the Expedition 71 mission set to begin at 7 a.m. EDT on Monday, June 24. The suited up duo will exit the depressurized  Quest airlock into the vacuum of space for six-and-a-half hours of radio hardware removal tasks and to sample collections of microorganisms that may have exited through station vents.
