NASA astronaut Steve Bowen and his United Arab Emirates counterpart Sultan Alneyadi are making final preparations for a spacewalk at the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, April 28.<\/p>\n

Alneyadi will be making history as he emerges from the ISS as this will be the first spacewalk by an Arab astronaut.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing chosen as the first Arab astronaut to undertake a spacewalk \u2026 is a great honor and responsibility,\u201d Alneyadi tweeted<\/a> earlier this month. He added that he was looking forward to representing his country and continuing \u201cthe exceptional journey started by generations of astronauts before me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowen, meanwhile, will be embarking on his eighth spacewalk, although his last one was 12 years ago during another mission.<\/p>\n

Both men, pictured below, arrived at the orbital outpost on March 3<\/a> together with NASA astronaut Warren Hoburg and Russian cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev.<\/p>\n

Bowen and Alneyadi will exit the station\u2019s Quest airlock and then work on preparing for the future installation of upgraded solar arrays on the starboard side of the station\u2019s truss.<\/p>\n

Four of the new arrays have already been installed in earlier spacewalks, and two additional arrays will be mounted to the installed platforms during future excursions, NASA said.<\/p>\n

The astronauts will also collect S-band antenna equipment and bring it back into the ISS for refurbishment.<\/p>\n

<\/a>What to expect<\/h2>\n

The live stream will include footage from multiple cameras, some of them attached to the astronauts themselves so that you can witness them performing their work at close quarters.<\/p>\n

The broadcast will also carry the audio feeds of both astronauts and their colleagues back at Mission Control.<\/p>\n

A NASA commentator, too, will describe to the audience what the astronauts are doing each step of the way.<\/p>\n

You should also keep an eye out for some awesome views of Earth 250 miles below.<\/p>\n

<\/a>How to watch<\/h2>\n

NASA will provide live coverage of the spacewalk, with its live stream set to begin at 7:45 a.m. ET on Friday, April 28.<\/p>\n

The spacewalk itself is scheduled to start at about 9:15 a.m. ET, and last around 6.5 hours. For easy identification during the spacewalk, Bowen will wear a suit featuring red stripes, while Alneyadi will wear an unmarked suit.<\/p>\n

You can watch the spacewalk via the player at the top of this page, or by heading to NASA\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>, which will carry the same feed.<\/p>\n
