ISS ham radio crew prepare for forthcoming spacewalks

The Expedition 14 crew members are accelerating their preparations for three U.S. spacewalks with the first starting next week.

They readied safety items and reviewed safety procedures such as aiding a crewmate incapacitated by decompression sickness.

Commander Mike Lopez-Alegria, KE5GTK and Flight Engineer Sunita Williams, KD5PLB, also reviewed updated spacewalk timelines and tagged up with ground specialists to address certain questions.

Williams also set aside some time to conduct a ham radio session with students at the École élémentaire publique Le Prélude in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
