Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will conduct a spacewalk outside the International Space Station to swab the orbiting lab for evidence of microorganisms.

NASA’s two stuck astronauts took their first spacewalk together Thursday, exiting the International Space Station almost eight months after moving in. Commander Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore removed a broken antenna and wiped the station’s exterior for evidence of any microbes that might still be alive after launching from Earth and escaping through vents.

Their much-anticipated return became a focal point after US President Donald Trump asked SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to rescue the duo.

Suni was joined by fellow NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore on the extravehicular activity. The two astronauts, who originally expected to spend just a week on the ISS after the Boeing Starliner's test flight in June 2024, are now set to remain in space until late March or early April 2025.
