It's a big day for British astronaut Tim Peake as he prepares

:00:17.:00:30.

to do his first ever spacewalk this afternoon.

:00:31.:00:33.

He'll be helping to restore power to one part of the station.

:00:34.:00:38.

Here's Ayshah with what's going to be happening.

:00:39.:00:43.

At around 1255 later today you might be finishing your lunch,

:00:44.:00:47.

but somewhere in space Tim Peake will be about to take

:00:48.:00:50.

He will set for outside the International Space Station

:00:51.:00:57.

It's a huge moment for any astronaut.

:00:58.:01:04.

Spacewalks are the most exciting and challenging thing an astronaut

:01:05.:01:06.

does, the hardest thing we do as human beings.

:01:07.:01:10.

It is the most hostile environment you can imagine.

:01:11.:01:14.

For the next 6 1/2 hours he will be out in space repairing a broken

:01:15.:01:19.

power unit on the outside of the station.

:01:20.:01:25.

He will be with a fellow astronaut and their every move is guided

:01:26.:01:25.

Everything down to the order in which tools and equipment

:01:26.:01:30.

are attached to their space suits has been carefully planned.

:01:31.:01:36.

We have planned in meticulous detail the procedures.

:01:37.:01:41.

We've used computer simulations to see exactly where we will go

:01:42.:01:45.

I think it's going to be the most exhilarating feeling imaginable.

:01:46.:01:51.

After repairing the unit, his next job will be to connect

:01:52.:01:55.

At the corner of your eye you're seeing the planet rotating below

:02:15.:02:17.

you so how do you stop getting distracted because you have

:02:18.:02:20.

the whole universe to look at, but you have to undo screws

:02:21.:02:23.

It is another part of Tim's exciting mission in space.

:02:24.:02:31.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield spent more than 150 days on space

:02:32.:02:34.

He says they're are a crucial part of life on board the station.

:02:35.:02:42.

We'd been training for years to do spacewalks.

:02:43.:02:45.

Regular maintenance is required to keep the space station running.

:02:46.:02:51.

Unlike a car where you can pull over and call a tow truck,

:02:52.:02:58.

if the station had a serious problem, you have to go

:02:59.:03:01.

Today, Tim Peake will join a small group of astronauts who have

:03:41.:03:45.

realisation of a dream. Mostly, fantastic. Emotional and the

:03:46.:03:51.

there are a lot of people counting on you to perform really well so

:03:52.:03:56.

that the space station is safe and can keep going.
