Kelly and Lindgren will lay cables to prepare the station for the arrival of commercial crew vehicles in 2017, as well as perform other maintenance chores. It will be the first walk for both of them, though Kelly, as the more senior of the two, will be in charge and will be wearing the red striping of a commander on his suit. Watch the entire spacewalk here, live, beginning at 6:45 AM, ET. Time is producing a series of documentary films, titled “A Year in Space” which can be viewed on a special site, [here](http://time.com/space-nasa-scott-kelly-mission/). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4087186/americans-spacewalk-watch-live/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4087186/americans-spacewalk-watch-live/"},"headline":"Two Americans Conduct a Spacewalk","datePublished":"2015-10-28T10:30:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:04:43.674Z","description":"They'll be out for more than six hours","url":"https://time.com/4087186/americans-spacewalk-watch-live/","keywords":["A Year In Space"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb9722af203b81bb7/69886e58ab6d772a746a6dc4/scott-kelly-photograph-iss-7th-month24.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb9722af203b81bb7/69886e58ab6d772a746a6dc4/scott-kelly-photograph-iss-7th-month24.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Astronaut Scott Kelly International Space Station photos Month 7","caption":"Astronaut Scott Kelly International Space Station photos","creditText":"Scott Kelly—NASA","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/science/","name":"Science"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/a-year-in-space/","name":"A Year In Space"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4087186/americans-spacewalk-watch-live/","name":"Two Americans Conduct a Spacewalk"}}]}] ```
