Expedition 61 crewmembers review spacewalk procedures

iss061e037472 (Nov. 12, 2019) --- Expedition 61 crewmembers (from left) Andrew Morgan, Jessica Meir, Luca Parmitano and Christina Koch gather inside the U.S. Destiny laboratory module to review spacewalk procedures for the complex repair work planned for the International Space Station's cosmic particle detector, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer.

iss061e045447 (Nov. 15, 2019) --- NASA astronaut Jessica Meir is at the robotics workstation controlling the Canadarm2 robotic arm to support the first spacewalk to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), the International Space Station's cosmic particle detector. Astronauts Luca Parmitano of ESA (European Space Agency) and Andrew Morgan of NASA worked six hours and 39 minutes in the vacuum of space during the first of at least four planned AMS repair spacewalks.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer's debris shield drifts away

iss061e045319 (Nov. 15, 2019) --- A debris shield that was removed from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), the International Space Station's cosmic particle detector, is pictured drifting away from the orbiting lab after spacewalkers Andrew Morgan and Luca Parmitano jettisoned it. The debris shield was detached by the spacewalkers so they could access and begin the repairs of the AMS thermal control system.
