India, Jan. 30 -- NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who are stranded in space for the last eight months, ventured out of the International Space Station for their first spacewalk together.

Indian-origin astronaut and Commander Sunita William floated out of the space station to perform maintenance work with Wilmore on Thursday. The two astronauts also wiped the International Space Station's exterior for evidence of any microbes that may still be alive after launching from Earth and escaping through vents.

"Here we go," Wilmore said as he emerged 260 miles above Earth, in a video livestreamed by NASA on X.
