NEW YORK: American space agency, NASA has released amazing videos recorded by its GoPro cameras that were strapped to suits of astronauts, who went on spacewalks earlier this year from the International Space Station (ISS).
Astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Terry Virts took the spacewalk earlier this year while cameras attached to their suits made amazing videos that can give an experience to most people about how it is like to be in space. The spacewalks were aimed at reconfiguring the ISS for the arrival of future commercial crew and cargo vehicles and also to conduct other maintenance tasks.
The astronaut spacewalk videos were recorded on 25 February and 1 March when they undertook their spacewalks. The videos are aimed at providing the space experience to the people on Earth.Virt had become the first astronauts to use the GoPro camera outside the space station for a spacewalk. The astronaut spacewalk was considered a very complicated task of routing a cable and was considered a dangerous spacewalk and so it was performed far from the International Space Station.
The video shows Virts reconfiguring and fixing part of the ISS robotic arm and it is about 120 minutes long and also shows many glimpses of the Earth.
