Sunita Williams, one of the NASA astronauts stuck in space, ventured out to conduct essential maintenance tasks on the International Space Station (ISS).

Indian-origin NASA astronaut Sunita Williams on Thursday stepped out of the International Space Station (ISS) for a spacewalk along with colleague Nick Hague, the US space agency said.

Sunita Williams, one of the two NASA astronauts stranded on the ISS, completed her first spacewalk since arriving over seven months ago. NASA described the mission as crucial for maintaining the ISS's smooth operation and extending its life.
