Expedition 75 Crew to Earth: "Happy Halloween!" | International Space Station
Crew Updates: "Space crops research wrapped up the week following the completion of the first of two power upgrade spacewalks at the International Space Station. The Expedition 75 crew members rounded out their research schedule with virtual reality and super intelligence studies.
The orbital outpost has a new roll-out solar array that is generating power after flight engineers Anil Menon of NASA and Joshua Kutryk of the Canadian Space Agency installed it during a spacewalk on Thursday, October 29, 2026. Menon and Kutryk spent seven hours and 11 minutes in the vacuum of space attaching the roll-out solar array to the port side truss structure then releasing its tension bolts allowing the solar array to unfurl, or roll out, on its own during a ten-minute process.
The pair will install one more roll-out solar array on Thursday, Nov. 5, to complete the yearslong process that began in June 2021 to augment the space station’s power generation system. Menon and Kutryk will install the eighth and final roll-out solar array on the starboard side of the truss structure increasing the station’s power generating capacity from 160 kilowatts to about 215 kilowatts."
