NASA Astronauts Anil Menon and Jessica Meir Complete Spacewalk to Upgrade ISS Power System
NASA astronauts Anil Menon and Jessica Meir completed a six-hour, 27-minute spacewalk outside the International Space Station to install mounting hardware on the station's 3B power channel. This work prepares the ISS for the addition of new roll-out solar arrays (IROSA) to increase power capacity, supporting critical systems and the station's safe deorbit. The spacewalk was Menon's first and Meir's sixth, marking the 281st spacewalk for ISS maintenance and upgrades.
