Anil Menon(@astro_anil):🫧 @Astro_Jessica and I have a spacewalk coming up early August. We are preparing this week with the @NASA EVA team. Step one – get the suit ready. We are filling and testing the water bags. After filling it with water, there are air bubbles, but they are not at the top, and the only way to get them out – and get more water in – is to spin them (centrifuge) and then squeeze the air out. This was my very first attempt at this. Mission accomplished!
