NASA is about to organize a delegation to go out into space with all women

After the plan for a crew of all female astronauts to take a spacewalk was canceled in March, the US Space Agency (NASA) prepared for a new walk.

Astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir will go out in space on October 21.

In March Koch should have walked in space with Anne McClain, who had just returned to Earth. However, due to McClain's 'shortage of protective outfits in space and space' the mission was canceled. Koch then went out into space with male astronaut Nick Hague.

It is known that Koch will make 3 spacewalks in October, of which the last one will be with Meir.

Koch arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on March 14 this year. She will remain at the station until February 2020. That way, she will become the American female astronaut to remain in space for the longest time ever.

Before Koch, the record belonged to Peggy Whitson, who spent 288 days in space. The South American astronaut holds the same record as Scott Kelly, who spent 340 days living and working on the ISS.
