NASA astronaut Suni Williams is seen outside the International Space Station during the Jan. 16, 2025, spacewalk where she and fellow NASA astronaut Nick Hague replaced a rate gyro assembly that helps maintain the orientation of the orbital outpost. It was the fourth spacewalk for Hague and the eighth for Williams.
Williams and Hague also installed patches to cover damaged areas of light filters on the NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer) X-ray telescope, replaced a reflector device on one of the international docking adapters, and checked access areas and connector tools that astronauts will use for future Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer maintenance.

2025年1月16日,NASA宇航员苏尼·威廉姆斯(Suni Williams)在国际空间站外进行太空行走时被拍摄到。她与NASA宇航员尼克·黑格(Nick Hague)在这次太空行走中共同更换了一个速率陀螺仪组件,该组件有助于维持轨道站的姿态。这是黑格的第四次太空行走,也是威廉姆斯的第八次太空行走。
威廉姆斯和黑格还为中子星内部成分探测器(NICER)X射线望远镜光滤镜受损区域安装了补丁,更换了一个国际对接适配器上的反射器装置;并检查了未来用于阿尔法磁谱仪(Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer)维护的接入区域和连接工具。
