宇航员妮可·曼恩为太空行走做准备
NASA astronaut and Expedition 68 flight engineer Nicole Mann is pictured during a fit check of her spacesuit on Jan. 12, 2023, ahead of a planned spacewalk to upgrade the International Space Station’s power generation system.
Selected as an astronaut candidate in June 2013, Mann is the first Native American woman from NASA in space. In 2018, she was chosen as one of the nine astronauts to crew the first flight tests and missions of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner and SpaceX Crew Dragon. In her first spaceflight, she launched to the International Space Station as commander of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 mission aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on Oct. 5, 2022.
While aboard the orbital laboratory, Mann executed two spacewalks totaling 14 hours and two minutes. She also supported two spacewalks as the robotic arm operator and captured the NG-18 cargo resupply spacecraft, S.S. Sally Ride.

2023年1月12日，NASA宇航员、第68号远征队的飞行工程师妮可·曼在计划进行太空行走以升级国际空间站的发电系统之前，在检查她的宇航服。
曼恩于2013年6月被选为宇航员候选人，是NASA首位进入太空的美国原住民女性。2018年，她被选为波音CST-100 Starliner和SpaceX载人龙飞船的首批飞行测试和任务的九名宇航员之一。在她的第一次太空飞行中，她于2022年10月5日作为NASA SpaceX Crew-5任务的指挥官乘坐SpaceX载人龙飞船发射到国际空间站。
在轨道实验室，曼恩进行了两次太空行走，总共14小时2分钟。她还作为机械臂操作员支持了两次太空行走，并捕获了NG-18货物再补给航天器萨莉·赖德号。
