US EVA-89: astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli (left) and Loral O'Hara are suited up and preparing to float outside the International Space Station for what will be only the 4th all-female spacewalk and the first since January 2020.
The goals of the 269th ISS EVA are to replace a trundle bearing assembly in the station's left side solar array rotary mechanism; and to retrieve a degraded S-band radio frequency group component so it can be shipped back to Earth for repairs.
