Two NASA astronauts did a seven-hour spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday. This spacewalk was done to increase and restore power in the ISS.
Josh Cassada and Frank Rubio, two members of the Expedition 68 crew, fitted a new Roll-Out Solar Array to the space station. This was the second spacewalk of these two together. During this he bypassed one of the eight power channels of the station. Both did 7 hours, 5 minutes of activity outside the International Space Station and completed all their tasks.
Spacewalkers started work at 7:16 in the morning. The crew took the U.S. Before exiting the Quest airlock (U.S. Quest airlock), set your suit to internal battery power. From there, both of them proceeded to their work stations to start work. He freed one of the two new ISS Roll-Out Solar Arrays (iROSA) from the carrier. On November 27, this carrier was released by SpaceX's CRS-26 Dragon spacecraft.
