Astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch are due to make history on October 18 when they take part in the first all-female spacewalk from the International Space Station.

Meir and Koch will venture into space to replace a failed power controller, according to reports from NASA.

Koch was meant to take part in the historic spacewalk earlier in the year with her colleague Anne McClain; however, it had to be rescheduled after NASA announced that it didn’t have the correct-sized spacesuits for the two women. Credit: NASA via Storyful
