NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Joshua Kutryk have stepped out of the International Space Station to conduct an extravehicular activity. The primary objective of this spacewalk is to install and deploy a new Roll-Out Solar Array, known as IROSA, onto the station's exterior.
The mission represents a collaborative effort between NASA and the CSA to enhance the power capabilities of the orbital laboratory. As the astronauts work outside the spacecraft, they are tasked with carefully positioning and activating the flexible solar technology designed to supplement the station's existing energy systems.
