Indian-origin NASA astronaut Anil Menon conducts his first spacewalk from the ISS, a 6.5‑hour EVA with Jessica Meir to install hardware on the 3B power channel for the next Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA), part of NASA’s effort to boost ISS power and extend its life; three more spacewalks are planned in August.
NASA released photos from a March 18, 2026 spacewalk by Jessica Meir and Chris Williams to install a modification kit and brackets ahead of future roll-out solar arrays on the ISS 2A power channel, a seven-hour excursion that marked Meir's fourth spacewalk and Williams' first as they supported maintenance and upgrades for the station.
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Chris Williams are slated to conduct a long-delayed spacewalk outside the International Space Station around 8 a.m. EDT today, after a SpaceX Crew-11 medical evacuation postponed an earlier EVA that would have involved Mike Fincke. The outing will prep a power channel for the future iROSA solar arrays, with live coverage beginning at 6:30 a.m. EDT.
