Astronauts Josh Cassada and Frank Rubio will spent 7 hours installing a solar array bracket on the orbiting lab in their spacewalk.
NASA astronauts Josh Cassada and Frank Rubio will exit the space station on Tuesday for a spacewalk to continue upgrading the station’s power generation system.
If all goes well, Cassada and Rubio will spend seven hours working outside the space station. Their primary goal is to install a mounting bracket on the starboard side of the station's backbone-like main truss that will be the foundation for a new, a solar panel designed to rollout like a window shade to generate power.
"These will be the third and fourth iROSAs out of a total six planned for installation," NASA wrote in a."The iROSAs will increase power generation capability by up to 30%, increasing the station’s total available power from 160 kilowatts to up to 215 kilowatts."
