First Arab to perform a spacewalk makes history, despite broken bolt
For only the 12th time in history, an astronaut has become the first to wear his country's flag out on a spacewalk.
Displaying the red, green, white and black banner of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on his spacesuit's left shoulder, Sultan AlNeyadi on Friday (April 28) took the first steps by an Emirati into the vacuum of space. Together with his fellow International Space Station Expedition 69 crewmate Stephen Bowen of NASA, AlNeyadi completed a 7 hour and one minute extravehicular activity (EVA) that unexpectedly called for the use of a crow bar and hammer in attempts to free a broken bolt.
