Nasa releases action cam footage from spacewalk (Video)

Nasa has released video footage taken by astronaut Peggy Whitson during her record breaking spacewalk on March 30.

The video was taken by astronaut Peggy Whitson on a helmet cam. Whitson and fellow astronaut Shane Kimbrough were performing maintenance on the spacecraft when they captured the stunning shots.

During the spacewalk, NASA says, “the two spacewalkers reconnected cables and electrical connections on PMA-3 at its new home on top of the Harmony module. They also installed the second of the two upgraded computer relay boxes on the station’s truss and installed shields and covers on PMA-3 and the now-vacant common berthing mechanism port on Tranquility.”

In the video, one of the shields was inadvertently lost and you can see the object floating away into space.
