NASA schedules October 20 preview of two station solar-array spacewalks
NASA will stream an October 20 briefing about planned October 29 and November 5 spacewalks to install the final two roll-out solar arrays on the International Space Station.
What the record says
The briefing is scheduled for 2 p.m. EDT from Johnson Space Center. NASA says Anil Menon and Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk are assigned to U.S. spacewalks 100 and 101, installing arrays on the station’s 2A and 3B power channels. The agency says all eight roll-out arrays together will increase available station power by up to 30%.
