UAE's Sultan Al-Neyadi Makes History as First Arab to Spacewalk

UAE astronaut Sultan Al-Neyadi has become the first Arab to complete a spacewalk during Expedition 69, venturing out of the International Space Station (ISS) and completing his spacewalk. The historic spacewalk lasted 7.01 hours in the vacuum of space on the starboard side of the ISS's truss structure, accomplishing two key objectives. One of the objectives of the Extravehicular Activity (EVA), undertaken by Sultan Al-Neyadi along with NASA Flight Engineer Stephen Bowen, was to work on a series of preparatory tasks which involved routing power cables, which was successfully concluded.
