For Jack Fischer, [the Verge reports](https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/12/15629362/watch-spacewalk-200th-nasa-iss-live-peggy-whitson-jack-fischer "undefined"), it will be his first ever spacewalk. But Peggy Whitson is a pro. She [holds the record](http://time.com/4746568/astronaut-peggy-whitson-record-breaking-spacewalk/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined") for most spacewalks by a female U.S. astronaut (today will be her ninth), and she’s spent more days off the planet than any other woman (more than 500 days total). President Donald Trump [called her](http://time.com/4752788/donald-trump-peggy-whitson-international-space-station/?iid=sr-link3 "undefined") last month to congratulate her on the milestone. On Friday’s walk, Fischer and Whitson will make some necessary repairs to the space station. The space walk starts at 8 a.m. EST and is expected to continue for more than six hours. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4776945/watch-live-iss-spacewalk/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4776945/watch-live-iss-spacewalk/"},"headline":"Watch Live: Two Astronauts Complete 200th ISS Spacewalk","datePublished":"2017-05-12T11:57:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T04:53:34.409Z","description":"Astronauts Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson will make some necessary repairs","url":"https://time.com/4776945/watch-live-iss-spacewalk/","keywords":["Space","NASA","Outer Space","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb9871b32636f4c83/6988ca567cdbac2929d580a2/gettyimages-6179407721.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb9871b32636f4c83/6988ca567cdbac2929d580a2/gettyimages-6179407721.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Expedition 50 Qualification Exams","caption":"Expedition 50 Qualification Exams","creditText":"Bill Ingalls/NASA—NASA via Getty Images","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/4776945/watch-live-iss-spacewalk/","name":"Watch Live: Two Astronauts Complete 200th ISS Spacewalk"}}]}] ```
