But thanks to improvisation and muscle power, the third time was the charm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The team has just been incredible,&#8221; Williams radioed from the Quest airlock when the five-hour 26-minute EVA came to an end. &#8220;I know we were not the first, we weren&#8217;t even the second crew to do this, but somehow, with all of their great work, we were able to get it done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Added Wilmore: &#8220;This is probably the most involved spacewalk that probably every discipline in the ISS program was sweating as much as Suni and I were. Fantastic job, coming up with the next plan, and the next plan, and the next plan. And it worked! So, outstanding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After the antenna retrieval, Wilmore collected swabs from nearby vents to help researchers determine if any microbial life from inside the station had managed to make it outside and survive in the space environment. A third task, prepping a spare robot arm joint for possible use if arm repairs are ever needed, was deferred to a future spacewalk.<\/p>\n<p>Going into Thursday&#8217;s spacewalk, or EVA, Williams had logged 56 hours and 40 minutes outside the station during eight previous outings while Wilmore had chalked up 25 hours and 35 minutes of EVA time during four excursions.<\/p>\n<p>With her latest spacewalk, Williams moved past retired astronaut Peggy Whitson&#8217;s mark of 60 hours and 21 minutes of spacewalk time to become the world&#8217;s most experienced female spacewalker, moving up to number four overall.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/30\/04442844-84a4-4bc0-a40b-c9f143482b5f\/thumbnail\/620x349\/24820e90839903f59a3ac6ffae74b2af\/013025-williams.jpg?v=a599723035d2f104d7a2d01edbe96ef8#\" alt=\"013025-williams.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/30\/04442844-84a4-4bc0-a40b-c9f143482b5f\/thumbnail\/620x349\/24820e90839903f59a3ac6ffae74b2af\/013025-williams.jpg?v=a599723035d2f104d7a2d01edbe96ef8 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/30\/04442844-84a4-4bc0-a40b-c9f143482b5f\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/a4c2de129daeb0a9b09d865baa6af43b\/013025-williams.jpg?v=a599723035d2f104d7a2d01edbe96ef8 2x\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20620%20349'%2F%3E\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">Williams, anchored to the International Space Station&#8217;s robot arm, holds the recovered radio frequency group antenna assembly while arm operator Nick Hague, working from inside the lab, moves her back to the Quest airlock.

Their ride home has been docked to the station since last September and could bring them back to Earth in short order if NASA so ordered.<\/p>\n<p>But that would cause major disruptions to U.S. research aboard the lab because only a single NASA astronaut \u2014 Don Pettit \u2014 would remain aboard the station with two Russian crewmates until the Crew 10 fliers arrive around the end of
