2 astronauts will finish upgrading ISS solar arrays during spacewalk today: Watch it live

Two astronauts, NASA’s Anil Menon and Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk, are scheduled to conduct a critical spacewalk on November 5th to complete the installation of the International Space Station’s (ISS) final roll-out solar array. This mission represents the culmination of efforts to bolster the ISS’s power generation capabilities, which is vital for supporting ongoing research operations. The spacewalk is expected to last approximately six hours and will involve installing the arrays onto the station’s truss structure. Live coverage of this significant event will be available through multiple channels offering viewers an opportunity to witness the operation firsthand. Experts anticipate that these new solar arrays will substantially increase the ISS's energy production capacity, furthering its role as a hub for scientific exploration.
