Stranded NASA astronaut leaves Space Station for first time in months

by



One of NASA’s stranded astronauts has finally left the International Space Station after being stuck inside for eight months – but she’s not headed home.

Sunita Williams took her first spacewalk since arriving on the ISS on June 6 to tackle some overdue outdoor repair work alongside NASA’s Nick Hague.

‘I’m coming out,’ Williams radioed at around 6.30am ET. The spacewalk is expected to take six and a half hours, concluding at around 1pm ET.

Williams and her crewmate Butch Wilmore were left stranded on the ISS after a malfunctioned Boeing capsule was deemed unsafe to bring them home.

They were only supposed to be on the ISS for eight days but have faced numerous delays.

The duo are set to return in late March or possibly April.
