Tune in to WKTV Government 26 for our upcoming Special Programming Events from NASA TV!
On Thursday, October 12th we will be featuring live coverage of U.S. Spacewalk 89 at the International Space Station to collect microorganism samples and install a new high definition camera on the ISS truss. Coverage begins at 8:30am with the actual spacewalk scheduled to start at 10am.
NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara and European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogenson will exit the station’s Quest airlock to collect samples to be analyzed to see whether microorganisms exist on the exterior of the ISS. They will also replace a high definition camera on the port truss and conduct other maintenance work to prepare for future spacewalks. This will be the first spacewalk for both O’Hara and Mogenson.

NASA TV can be seen on the WKTV 26 Government Channel on Comcast and AT&T U-verse 99 Government Channel 99.
