To prepare for a spacewalk slated for Thursday, four Expedition 69 astronauts practised simulated robotic manoeuvres on a computer on Monday.

Three cosmonauts are preparing for a second spacewalk that will depart from the Roscosmos section of the International Space Station the following week.

On Thursday at 8:55 a.m. EDT, NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg will launch on their second spacewalk together.
