Tim Peake prepares for a spacewalk.Tim Peake/ESA  by [Jeffrey Kluger](/author/jeffrey-kluger/)  ## Jeffrey Kluger Editor at Large Jan 15, 2016 11:15 AM CUT Well before most people in the U.S. wake up on Jan. 15, astronauts Tim Peake and Tim Kopra will be very busy, beginning a 6-1/2-hour spacewalk to replace some faulty equipment on the International Space Station and lay cable for the eventual arrival of crew vehicles. Every spacewalk is something of a heavily-suited, high-risk ballet—manual labor in a place where familiar physical laws are suspended. TIME will stream the spacewalk live, beginning at 6:30 AM, EST. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4181629/astronauts-spacewalk-watch-space-station/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4181629/astronauts-spacewalk-watch-space-station/"},"headline":"Watch Astronauts Conduct a Spacewalk","datePublished":"2016-01-15T11:15:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T14:09:09.857Z","description":"TIME will stream the spacewalk live","url":"https://time.com/4181629/astronauts-spacewalk-watch-space-station/","keywords":["Space","NASA","iss","space station"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfd63f1284e682cd0/6988793de20a8771aca8f137/cydgrcnwaaacblr.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jeffrey Kluger","jobTitle":"Editor at Large","url":"https://time.com/author/jeffrey-kluger/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfd63f1284e682cd0/6988793de20a8771aca8f137/cydgrcnwaaacblr.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Tim Peake Space Suit","caption":"Tim Peake prepares for a spacewalk.","creditText":"Tim Peake/ESA","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/space/","name":"Space"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4181629/astronauts-spacewalk-watch-space-station/","name":"Watch Astronauts Conduct a Spacewalk"}}]}] ```
