U.S. Spacewalk 101

On Thursday, Nov. 5, NASA astronaut Anil Menon and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk will install and deploy the eighth and final International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA), completing the space station's power system augmentation. Together, the eight roll-out arrays will increase the station's available power by up to 30%.

The spacewalk is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. EST (7:30 a.m. CST) (1330 UTC) and will last around six and a half hours.
