The walk was originally scheduled to take place more than six months ago, involving Koch and the Nasa astronaut Anne McClain, but the exercise had to be delayed because Nasa did not have enough of the correctly sized suits available and ready to use on the station! Videos for Nasa Plans Historic First All - female 0:56 First all - female spacewalk, NASA 's second shot at history USATODAY!! There was only one useable medium-sized suit available in time, and the women needed one each.
McClain came back to Earth in June and Nasa has since blasted a second medium spacesuit up to the station, so that the walk – which could take place on Thursday or Friday – could happen.
"It turns out that over the next couple of years we're having a lot of medium-suit people fly, and so that's the sweet spot," the program manager for the International Space Station, Kirk Shireman, told a press briefing earlier this month.
One is designed for walking on the moon. The other is a bright orange pressure suit to be worn when astronauts launch from Earth and return.

SpaceX wants to launch 30,000 more satellites into space
Elon Musk’s company recently filed the request with the International Telecommunication Union.
The recent request for permission could take seven years to get clearances before the specified satellites are launched.
SpaceX wouldn’t have to launch all 30,000 satellites but filing for them now could stop other satellite operators going after the same slots.
When spotted flying above the Netherlands, a Dutch UFO website was inundated with more than 150 reports from people thinking that they were looking at UFOs.
It is thought that the satellites appeared so bright at first because they had not had the chance to reach their intended orbit height of 340 miles above Earth.
Musk responded to concerns on Twitter and said that the satellites will be in darkness when the stars are visible so shouldn’t disrupt the night sky.
The Canadian Space Agency Selects VuWall for Control Room Operations - Broadcasting & Cable
MONTREAL — Oct. 10, 2019 — VuWall, leader in video wall control and AV network management, today announced that the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) successfully deployed VuWall's VuScape processor to monitor the launch of the satellites and their trajectory for the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM). Installed by Applied Electronics, VuScape video wall controller shares and manages incoming content to the control rooms' video walls.
"The RCM will collect information from multiple satellites that is critical to maritime management, disaster management, and ecosystem monitoring in Canada," said Paul Vander Plaetse, CEO at VuWall. "From a single VuScape processor, the CSA can manage multiple surfaces and streams of information, cutting down on the amount of cabling! Historic moment: NASA sends first all - female crew on spacewalk to fix ISS power system failure news.com.au!! This is an excellent example of how our affordable visualization solutions can be scaled and tailored to meet the needs of any organization — from the smallest to the largest and most mission-critical deployments — while adding capabilities that further the value of the system."

UAE Space Agency launches new strategy and investment plan in sector | Science – Gulf News
Abu Dhabi: Even as it basks in the glory of the first successful space flight by an Emirati astronaut, the UAE's space regulator on Tuesday launched a national strategy and investment plan that prioritises local expertise building, space tourism and space exploration missions.
At the launch ceremony in the capital, the UAE Space Agency also signed an agreement to promote Dubai South as the economic zone of choice for companies in the sector, and another to develop space start-ups in collaboration with innovation hub, Kryptolabs.
"This strategy aims to support the realisation of the UAE's vision in the space sector with the various elements that fall under its umbrella, including science, technology, applications and services, whereas the investment plan seeks to increase the sector's contribution to the UAE economy," said Mohammad Al Ahbabi, director general at the Agency.
