Sunita Williams, one of the NASA astronauts stuck in space, ventured out to conduct essential maintenance tasks on the International Space Station (ISS).

Indian-origin NASA astronaut Sunita Williams on Thursday stepped out of the International Space Station (ISS) for a spacewalk along with colleague Nick Hague, the US space agency said.

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams has successfully completed her eighth spacewalk, bringing her total extravehicular activity (EVA) time to nearly 57 hours. The six-hour EVA was conducted on January 16 with fellow astronaut Nick Hague. The duo stepped outside the International Space Station (ISS) to conduct critical repairs and upgrades.
