Check out the new iROSAs!

Last week, two @NASAAstronauts added new iROSAs to the @Space_Station. The additional iROSAs added over the past several months are expected to boost station power by over 30% for research and operations. ☀️

Roll-out deployment ✅

The sixth IROSA wing, developed in partnership with @BoeingSpace + @Spectrolab_Inc, has completed deployment on @Space_Station!

[International Space Station @Space_Station]

Spacewalkers Steve Bowen and @Astro_Woody exited the station at 8:42am ET today. They will install a new roll-out solar array that will enable a 30% increase in power production over the station’s current arrays. https://t.co/tO321E3k5m

A spacewalk with two @NASAAstronauts is scheduled to begin at 8:55am ET. 👨‍🚀👨‍🚀

The astronauts will add new solar arrays to help boost power for @Space_Station research! Tune in to the coverage on https://t.co/9x0KJqkIfx.

[NASA Science @NASAScience_]

Astronauts are scheduled to step out of the @Space_Station tomorrow to install a new solar array. The addition of the new solar array sets is expected to boost station power by about 30% for station research and operations.
Watch coverage at https://t.co/9x0KJqkIfx at 7:45am ET.
