A few shots from this week’s spacewalk on the @Space_Station. Unfortunately there was little time for photos, as we had our hands full of various parts of the @csa_asc Canadarm2 most of the time, for good reason! Can’t beat @Astro_ChrisW’s smile, inside or outside the ISS! Immense thanks to all of the ground teams around the globe that supported this week to help regain this vital resource.

Day 138, orbit 2141 — US EVA-95: success! 🎉 @Astro_Jessica and @Astro_ChrisW completed yesterday their second EVA together, and Canadarm2 is in a good configuration now to go back to 100% operational. Congratulations to all the teams who made it happen! I had the privilege of leading the intravehicular (IV) operations, and I couldn't be happier of how well we worked together. While strictly following all procedures, we still managed to get Jessica and Chris into the airlock about 30 minutes ahead of schedule. That may not sound like much, but for the crew members in the suit, it’s 30 minutes of energy saved for the EVA marathon ahead, a huge advantage! 📸 ESA/NASA/Roscosmos: Thanks to cosmonaut Sergei K for the moral support and the pictures! #εpsilon@esa@esaspaceflight@Space_Station@nasa@NASAJohnson

Real-time sunset from orbit. They only last about 8 seconds from start to finish, but seeing 16 per day makes up for it! Timelapses through the transition can be challenging as the exposure overwhelms the camera's dynamic range.

Even viewing clouds from the @Space_Station is enchanting, an endless variety of shapes, textures, and sizes. . . usually quite serene, but sometimes ominous, like these thunderclouds over the Pacific Northwest this week.
