NASA is counting down toward a Saturday launch of its new moon rocket, its second attempt in a week.

Meir, alongside fellow astronaut and friend Christina Koch successfully conducted the first all-female spacewalk outside of the space station on Friday. During the spacewalk, Koch was actually able to ride on the end of the robotic arm, something not many astronauts have the opportunity to do. Meir arrived on the space station for her first six-month mission at the beginning of October. Koch and Meir are included in the list of 12 women that could be the first female astronaut on the moon in 2024. She can check "becoming an astronaut" and "going for a spacewalk" off her "future plans" list from high school.

NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch will conduct the first all-female spacewalk outside of the International Space Station. INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION - NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch are conducting the first all-female spacewalk outside of the International Space Station. Upon watching the spacewalk begin, NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson said she hopes this is just the first all-female spacewalk and that it becomes a normal occurrence.

This is the second attempt at an all-female spacewalk after the first was scrapped in March.

Koch and Meir will venture outside the International Space Station about 7:50 a.m. to replace faulty equipment on the stations exterior. This will be Kochs fourth spacewalk and Meirs first.

The tweet also showed an image of pairings for the upcoming spacewalks. Meir arrived on the space station for her first mission this week. In addition to her first spacewalk with Koch, she will also conduct a spacewalk with European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano.
