@nasajohnson Now THAT’S a power move. ⚡🌎 On Nov. 5, NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk stepped outside the International Space Station for U.S. Spacewalk 101, marking a major milestone in the orbiting laboratory’s power upgrades. During the 6-hour, 59-minute spacewalk, the duo installed and deployed the eighth and final roll-out solar array, completing a five-year effort to enhance the station’s power generation system. With all eight arrays now installed, the upgrades increase the station’s power generation capacity by approximately 30%, helping support critical operations and research aboard the orbiting laboratory. Five years of upgrades. Eight new solar arrays. One powerful milestone for science in orbit.
