New Delhi: British astronaut Tim Peake is all set to make his first spacewalk aboard the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday.

Recently, he shared two pictures which were taken aboard the International Space Station on January 11, 2016, during preparations for a spacewalk, or extra-vehicular activity (EVA).

On Friday, 15th January, Expedition 46 flight engineers Tim Kopra of NASA and Tim Peake of ESA will venture outside the space station’s Quest airlock to repair power unit for solar panels.

The spacewalk is scheduled to begin at 7:55 am EST and will be the third in Kopra’s career and the first for Peake.
