The trio show off a portrait of the ground personnel who supported the Plasma Crystal‑4 investigation. The microgravity physics study explored complex plasmas—mixtures of ionized gas, neutral gas, and microscopic particles that become highly charged, interact strongly with one another, and may form plasma crystals. Results may influence the design of future spacecraft and lead to new research methods.

NASA astronaut and Expedition 75 flight engineer Anil Menon holds a patch and a tray of sweet snacks commemorating his 100th day living in microgravity. Menon launched aboard the Soyuz MS‑29 spacecraft with Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina of Russia, both two-time space visitors, on July 14, 2026, and docked to the International Space Station’s Prichal module the same day, beginning a long-duration space research mission.

Expedition 75 flight engineers Joshua Kutryk of the Canadian Space Agency and Jessica Watkins of NASA pose together inside the International Space Station's Quest airlock. Watkins assisted Kutryk as he tried on a spacesuit ensuring a good fit, comfort, and systems functionality. Spacesuit fit checks also account for body changes such as spinal elongation that take place in microgravity.

NASA astronaut and Expedition 75 flight engineer Jessica Watkins celebrates 200 cumulative days in space across two expeditions aboard the International Space Station with a tray of sweet snacks. In the background, Roscosmos cosmonauts Anna Kikina and Sergey Teteryatnikov of Russia join the celebration inside the vestibule between the Unity module and the Zarya module.

Expedition 75 flight engineers Luke Delaney and Jessica Watkins, both NASA astronauts, review and practice Canadarm2 robotic arm maneuvers at the robotics workstation inside the International Space Station's Destiny laboratory module. Delaney and Watkins trained to support the second and final spacewalk in a series of two with Expedition 75 flight engineers Anil Menon of NASA and Joshua Kutryk of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to install the eighth and final roll-out solar array on the orbital outpost's truss structure.

NASA astronaut and Expedition 75 flight engineer Anil Menon installs experimental fluid systems inside the Advanced Space Experiment Processor-2 (ADSEP-2) sample processing hardware. ADSEP‑2 can be configured for cell and tissue culturing, protein crystal growth, microorganism studies, and materials science research with colloids.

Canadian Space Agency astronaut and Expedition 75 flight engineer Joshua Kutryk packs a failed Canadarm2 robotic arm wrist joint in protective covers before loading it aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft for return to Earth. The wrist joint was replaced on Canadarm2 with a spare during a spacewalk on June 30, 2026. 

Expedition 75 is continuing preparations for the second and final spacewalk in a series of two to upgrade the International Space Station’s power generation system. The orbital residents are also conducting microgravity research and transferring cargo in and out of a U.S. cargo spacecraft.

Flight engineers Joshua Kutryk of the Canadian Space Agency and Anil Menon of NASA spent Tuesday organizing the tools and studying the procedures they will use during a spacewalk scheduled to start at 8:30 a.m. EST on Thursday, November 5, 2026. Kutryk and Menon started their shift inside the Quest airlock staging their spacewalking tools and inspecting the tethers that will secure the astronauts to the orbital outpost. Afterward, the pair reviewed the activities planned for the seven-hour excursion to install the eighth and final roll-out solar array on the orbital outpost’s starboard truss structure.

The installation job will complete the years-long process that began in June 2021 to augment the space station’s power generating capacity from 160 kilowatts to about 215 kilowatts.
