Spacewalk Begins for Solar Array Modifications
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon began a spacewalk at 8:33 a.m. EDT outside the International Space Station to prepare the 3B power channel for the future installation of new roll-out solar arrays. Once installed, the arrays will provide additional power to support critical station operations, including its safe and controlled deorbit.
The spacewalk is streaming through a variety of platforms. Learn where to watch online: https://www.nasa.gov/live
Meir is spacewalk crew member 1, wearing a suit with red stripes. Menon is crew member 2, wearing an unmarked suit.
