To kick off the spacewalk, which is expected to last about seven hours, the astronauts exited the International Space Station‘s Quest airlock. Bowen and Hoburg will install an IROSA to augment power generation for the 1A power channel on the station’s starboard truss structure. The new arrays are 60 feet long by 20 feet wide and will shade a little more than half of the original arrays, which are 112 feet long by 39 feet wide. Each new IROSA will produce more than 20 kilowatts of electricity, and once all are installed, will enable a 30% increase in power production over the station’s current arrays.
