NASA Astronaut Christina Koch prepares to exit the crew lock portion of the Quest airlock into the vacuum of space for her fourth spacewalk and the first with fellow astronaut Jessica Meir October 18, 2019 in Earth Orbit. The astronauts held the first all female spacewalk to replace a faulty battery charge discharge unit that failed to activate following the earlier installation of new lithium ion batteries.
