It will be NASA's first spacewalk in over two years.

The space agency paused extravehicular activities (EVAs) at the station to give it time to investigate an incident during a walk where a thin layer of water appeared inside the helmet of an astronauts

NASA halted NASA-led spacewalks at the station so it could determine what caused the incident as it described it as a "close call". In the meantime, five other spacewalks have taken place at the station.

After completing its work and making the correct kit updates, NASA will conduct its next EVA on Tuesday, November 15. The first spacewalk for both astronauts will take place.

At 8 a.m., the pair will leave the airlock. As part of ongoing work to upgrade the station's power system, a mounting bracket for solar array will be put on the starboard side of the outpost.
