The photo was snapped by Jessica Meir, who took part in the first all-female spacewalk last month.
The battery charge/discharge unit, or BCDU for short, had failed to activate after astronauts installed new batteries on the ISS on October 11. The BCDU regulates the amount of charge that the station's batteries receive from the spacecraft's solar panels during periods when it passes through the nighttime side of the Earth in its orbit.
The ISS has several functioning charging units which can carry the load for the failed BCDU, however, NASA officials decided to fix the problem promptly.Meir and Koch's spacewalk was the 221st to be conducted from the ISS for the purposes of assembly, maintenance or upgrades. The ISS is jointly operated by NASA and the Russian, European, Japanese and Canadian space agencies. It has been occupied for more than 19 years—the longest continuous human presence in space.
