NASA's astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore conducted their first spacewalk together, removing a broken antenna and performing maintenance tasks outside the ISS. Originally expected to return to Earth last year, their return was delayed due to issues with Boeing's Starliner capsule. The pair plans to return with SpaceX in late March or early April, extending their mission to almost 10 months. During this spacewalk, Williams set a new record for women, completing nine spacewalks in her career, surpassing Peggy Whitson's previous record.
