Meir & Menon Spacewalk: Cosmonaut Anna Kikina View | International Space Station
Expedition 75 commander, flight engineer, and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir: "Perspective is everything.🌍Gazing down at Earth from above offers an incredibly profound one, as does looking back at the International Space Station from a window in the Russian segment. Our crewmate Anna Kikina captured this incredible footage during NASA astronaut Anil Menon and my spacewalk on Aug. 6. Even suited up in our bulky spacesuits, we look like tiny little worker bees at the hive given the massive scale of the station."
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon concluded their spacewalk outside the International Space Station at 3 p.m. EDT on August 6, 2026. It was Menon’s first spacewalk and Meir’s sixth. During the 6-hour, 27-minute spacewalk, Meir and Menon completed their primary objectives. They included preparing the 3B power channel. This work was necessary for the installation of roll-out solar arrays, called IROSA, to provide additional power for the orbiting laboratory, supporting critical systems and the safe, controlled deorbit of the space station.
This was the 281st spacewalk in support of space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.
