NASA said: “The first all-woman spacewalk is a milestone worth noting and celebrating as the agency looks forward to putting the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024 with NASA’s Artemis lunar exploration program.
“Our achievements provide inspiration to students around the world, proving that hard work can lead you to great heights, and all students should be able to see themselves in those achievements.”
Today’s spacewalk marked the fourth time Mrs Koch has donned NASA’s iconic spacesuit to leave the ISS.

The astronauts said: “In the end, I do think it’s important, and I think it’s important because of the historical nature of what we’re doing.
“It’s wonderful to be contributing to the space program at a time when all contributions are being accepted, when everyone has a role.
This may worth something:
European Space Agency partners with Adesto for next-generation 5G tech - TechRepublic
Adesto focuses most of its work on Internet of Things (IoT) devices and semiconductors but will lend their expertise to projects related to new receiver architecture, IP blocks for satellite and 5G millimeter wave frequencies, a new Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), and unique discrete time analog filtering.
They will also have a hand in developing new technology for the Ku and Ka frequency bands, which provide higher bandwidth communications for important functions like satellite mobile broadband, residential broadband, and even commercial aviation.

In addition, Adesto will work to create a useable set of satellite terminals fully capable of digital beamforming!

They also expect the system to support satellite networks like Geostationary Equatorial Orbit, Medium Earth Orbit, and Low Earth Orbit.
"We're delighted to collaborate with the European Space Agency to create innovative technologies that will provide a foundation for delivery of future broadband services," said Adesto vice president Dermot Barry in a statement. "Our team has deep expertise in developing and delivering ASICs for satellite communications, with commercial deployments through multiple providers! 6:19:32 NASA & Canada Astronauts Go on Spacewalk to Work on Robotic Arm | NowThis YouTube!! The technology also fits well with our roadmap for standard product development."
TIME 'Year in Space' Documentary Is Now Available On Netflix | Time
The women working in the commissary at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on March 27, 2015 barely paid attention as the moment approached when the Soyuz rocket, just visible less than a kilometer away, would lift off. But when the 20 engines at the base of the rocket lit at 12:42 AM local time, turning the deep night to a brilliant white day, they hurried over to the window to watch! 1:09 NASA spacewalk : Space agency boasts 'milestone' as all-female astronauts work on the ISS- NASA News YouTube!! Less than 20 seconds later, the rocket disappeared into a low-lying cloud bank.
TIME was there for the launch — and with good reason. One of the three men aboard the rocket that night was veteran astronaut Scott Kelly, who was on his way to spending a near-complete year in space! NASA www.nasa.gov NASA.gov brings you the latest news, images and videos from America's space agency , pioneering the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. Space Station!! Like all crew members on the International Space Station (ISS), Kelly would be conducting observations and scientific experiments! spacewalk – Space Station - NASA blogs. nasa .gov/ space station/tag/ spacewalk NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Andrew Morgan are today's spacewalkers. Expedition 61 Flight Engineers Andrew Morgan and Christina Koch of NASA will continue the series of spacewalks outside of the International Space Station at about 7:50 a.m. EDT to upgrade the station's solar array batteries. Watch the spacewalk coverage now on NASA TV and the agency 's website.!! Unlike other space station crew members, Kelly also was the experiment — a test of how the human body adapts, or doesn’t, to extended periods in zero-g. The results would be compared to identical tests conducted on his twin brother Mark, who was also an astronaut, but who was staying on Earth for the duration of the mission.
Australia joins US in battle with China for space supremacy
SYDNEY -- When Australia announced a deal for $150 million Australian dollars ($102 million) to ensure its space industry's participation in NASA's Artemis mission, it was leveraging its 50-year collaboration with the U.S. space agency. It was also a show of shrewd but potentially risky space diplomacy as China readies to become America's most powerful space adversary.
The AU$150 million deal, spread over five years, was the minimum Australia would give its small but ambitious space sector to supply components and services to the Artemis mission.
Australia's space industry currently generates AU$3 billion to AU$4 billion a year. The Australian Space Agency, which was established only a year ago, has been tasked with growing the industry to around AU$12 billion a year in 10 years. It is part of Australia's plan to diversify the economy away from exporting iron ore, fossil fuels and farm products.
Quite a lot has been going on:
From Art To Space Walks: Space Suits As Symbols Of Equality
After a seven month delay, today NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir finally carried out the first all-women spacewalk. Unlike in March, they now had two spacesuits of the correct size at the space station.
For some people, the spacesuit debacle has become symbolic of the inequality in space. After all, if there had been more women, there would have been earlier opportunities for two of them to need a well-fitting suit at the same time.
But long before the current space mission, some artists already used space suits to point out that space exploration has never been equally accessible to everyone. Both Cristina de Middel and Yinka Shonibare have used spacesuits in their art to highlight that predominantly Western nations have been to space.

European Space Agency probe captures new photos of 700km dried-up river system on Mars | Euronews
While you might think of the surface of Mars as an other-worldly landscape, new photographs show it doesn't look as different as we might think to our own environment.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has released pictures of an ancient, dried-up river system that stretches out for nearly 700 kilometres across the surface of Mars, which is surprisingly earth-like in appearance.
One of the longest valley networks on the planet, around 3.5 billion to 4 billion years ago, the vast valleys were filled with water forming large rivers.
The Nirgal Vallis region shown in the new images from ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft lies just south of the planet’s equator.
This area of Mars' landscape was shaped by a mix of flowing water and impacts where rocks from space crashed into the martian plane.
