On September 1, 2026, American astronaut Jessica Meir and European Space Agency (ESA) flight engineer Sófie Adorno are scheduled to begin the 99th spacewalk at around 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (12:30 Coordinated Universal Time). They will be undertaking various tasks at the International Space Station’s “Harmony” node, including replacing a reflector on the forward end of the port, installing jumper cables for the data relay system, preparing for future maintenance of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer’s radiator, and replacing a high-definition camera on the space station’s truss.
Sófie Adorno will serve as the lead spacewalker, wearing a spacesuit with red stripes, while Jessica Meir will be the second spacewalker, wearing an unmarked spacesuit.
The spacewalk will be live streamed by New Tang Dynasty Television, Epoch Times, and Clean World with Chinese subtitles translation. You can watch the live stream at the following links:
