Maine astronaut that made history needed to complete more spacewalks

Caribou's own Dr. Jessica Meir will venture out into the harsh elements of space, again.

Maine's astronaut Jessica Meir will step out of the international space station for some more spacewalks this month. 

Meir and astronaut Christina Koch will step into space on Wednesday, and again next Monday to install new batteries that store energy generated by the space station's solar array. 

You might remember, Meir and Koch made history together back in October when they were the first all-female team to do a spacewalk.
