Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk and NASA astronaut Anil Menon successfully installed a new roll-out solar array on the International Space Station. The spacewalk, which took place on October 29, 2026, was a crucial step in increasing the station's power capacity. The new array is one of eight that will be installed, with the final one scheduled for installation on November 5, 2026. Once complete, the eight arrays will provide up to 30% more power to the station. This upgrade will enable the station to continue its vital research and operations. The International Space Station orbits 267 miles above the South Atlantic Ocean, and the astronauts' work will have a significant impact on the station's capabilities. The collaboration between Canadian and NASA astronauts is a testament to the international cooperation that makes space exploration possible.
