U.S. Spacewalk 94 Animation Preview | International Space Station
An animation of U.S. Spacewalk 94 scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026, when NASA astronauts Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman will prepare the 2A power channel for future installation of International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Arrays (IROSA). They will provide additional power ahead of a safe and controlled space station deorbit by 2030. The duo will also swab the outside of the orbiting lab for microorganisms. This animation was narrated by flight director Diana Trujillo.
Fincke and Cardman are scheduled to begin a six-and-a-half-hour spacewalk no earlier than 8 a.m. EST on Thursday, with suit-up starting at 6:30 a.m. The duo will finalize their preparations on Wednesday by organizing tools, checking spacesuits, and reviewing spacewalk procedures with assistance from Williams and Flight Engineer Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). During the spacewalk, they will install a modification kit and route cables to set up the station’s port-side truss structure for a future roll-out solar array.
An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada.
