NASA Anne McClain (pictured) and Christina Koch are scheduled to complete a spacewalk to upgrade the International Space Station's batteries at the end of March. "As currently scheduled, the March 29 spacewalk will be the first with only women," Nasa spokeswoman Stephanie Schierholz told CNN. While the spacewalk is scheduled for March, there is a chance it may not go ahead. McClain was recently part of another world-first when she inspected SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft - the first commercial space vehicle designed for human space flight - after it docked at the International Space Station.
