Weather of Arabia - The Emirati astronaut, Sultan Al Neyadi, became the first Arab to walk in space, on Friday, outside the International Space Station as part of the missions of Mission 69 on the station.

 

The mission, the fourth to walk in space this year, included assigning Al Neyadi and fellow astronaut Stephen Bowie to perform basic tasks, according to the official Emirates News Agency.

 

 

The journey of the two astronauts in space walking outside the station took about 6 and a half hours, as they will work on maintaining and modernizing the station.

 

The main objective of this mission was to change the "RFG" unit for radio frequencies, which is part of the "S-Band" communication system of the International Space Station, in preparation for its return to Earth, according to the Emirates News Agency.
