 Houston TX (SPX) May 23, 2006
 NASA announced Tuesday it has approved a June 1 spacewalk by the International Space Station crew, and the agency will broadcast the event live on NASA Television.

The five and a half hour spacewalk will begin at 6:40 p.m. Eastern Time. It will be the first of two spacewalks for station commander Pavel Vinogradov and flight engineer Jeff Williams during their six-month mission.

Clad in Russian Orlan space suits, Vinogradov and Williams will exit the station from the Pirs airlock. They will install a new valve on the Zvezda Service Module for the station's Russian oxygen-generation system. They also will collect experiments and install a new TV camera on the station's rail car system.
