Two astronauts will suit up for a spacewalk at the International Space Station on Tuesday.
What we know:
NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot will venture outside the ISS to replace a spacecraft navigational aid and complete several maintenance tasks.
"After installing the reflector, the crew will work to install jumper cables for the data-relay systems, prepare the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer's radiator for future maintenance, and replace a high-definition camera on the station's truss," NASA said in a media advisory.

During the spacewalk, Adenot will wear a suit with red stripes, while Meir will wear an unmarked suit, according to NASA officials.
Tuesday's spacewalk will be the seventh for Meir and the third for Adenot.
It will also be the sixth-ever all-female spacewalk. The first one was conducted by NASA astronauts Meir and Christina Koch in 2019.
The spacewalk is expected to begin around 8:35 a.m. ET and last about 6.5 hours.
