NASA conducted its first all-female spacewalk as astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers worked outside the International Space Station to install a bracket for a future solar array, expected to boost power generation by 30%. The mission experienced a minor setback early on when McClain reported a slice in her glove, which was closely monitored by ground control. Fortunately, the issue was assessed as non-threatening to safety, allowing the team to continue the mission successfully. This historic spacewalk had been off McClain's agenda for six years due to previous spacesuit fitting challenges.
Fortunately, the problem wasn't deemed serious enough to impact safety, and the spacewalk proceeded as planned. McClain maintained communication with Houston throughout.
