Explanation:
The failed unit was beyond the reach of the robotic
Canadarm2.
Therefore, this repair of the
International Space Station would require humans.
The humans on duty were NASA's
Jessica Meir
and
Christina Koch.
This was the fourth spacewalk for Meir, the first for Koch, and the
first all-female spacewalk in human history.
The first woman to walk in space was
Svetlana Savitskaya in 1984.
Koch (red stripe) and Weir are

P6 Truss,

Working
over seven hours, the newly installed
Battery Charge / Discharge Unit (BCDU) was successfully replaced and, when powered
up, operated normally.
