Tim Peake Prepares For Historic Spacewalk

Tim Peake will become the first Briton to walk in space later when he ventures outside the International Space Station (ISS) to help fix a broken power unit. The spacewalk - referred to as an Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) - will last almost six-and-a-half hours and is scheduled to begin at 12.55pm UK time. Major Peake will carry out the mission with NASA colleague Colonel Tim Kopra, who will be taking part in his third spacewalk.
