Day 195 orbit 3025 — Woohoo! Second spacewalk, only seven days after the first: done! ✅ I’ve now spent a total of 12 hours and 53 minutes outside the Station across two EVAs! Not everything went according to plan 😅 but overall EVA-98 still went much more smoothly than EVA-97. Physically, that second EVA was more challenging 💪 because I had to translate back and forth across the Station several times and handle a lot of tools. In microgravity, objects seem to have a mind of their own because they are attached by retractable tethers. They either drift away, come back at you fast, or seem intent on finding the most inconvenient place possible to get stuck. It's very easy to get entangled, so I was very careful and doubled- and tripled- checked everything, and in the end, I was especially happy that nothing got tangled! That second EVA was also more mentally demanding. For EVA-97, we approached the SGANT replacement with fresh eyes and plenty of optimism… For the second EVA, we had firsthand experience of the issues we might face. Of course both times we were 100% ready (and more!), but we definitely felt the pressure a bit more for EVA-98. The ground teams were amazing 🫶. The weekend before, everyone onboard and on the ground was working hard, and we had e-meetings together to make sure everyone would be best prepared to react in case of off-nominal situations. Such hard preparation work creates strong bonds which are so important later during the spacewalk. Out there, every shout of happiness is heartfelt, every compliment gives you a boost of energy, and a bit of light-hearted banter helps ease the pressure. That's teamwork at its best: looking out for one another, offering help before it's needed, or simply saying, "You've got this!” at exactly the right moment. So grateful for my Expedition 75 crewmates, and for the teams at Mission Control Center 🫶 🎥 @esa / @NASA #εpsilon • @space_station • @nasajohnson •@esaspaceflight • @astro_anil • @Astro_Jessica • @astro_hathaway
