Watch a time-lapse showing NASA's latest solararray unfurling shortly after being installed on the spacestation on Saturday.
Two American astronauts successfully completed a spacewalk at the International Space Station on Saturday, December 3.
Cassada and Rubio successfully installed another Roll-Out Solar Array as part of ongoing work to upgrade the station’s power supply system. The arrays’ large size meant they had to be rolled up into a compact shape to fit them inside the rocket’s fairing when they were launched to space. In a message on the space station’s Twitter account, a time-lapse video showed the new array unfurling ahead of operation.
Spacewalk with NASA Astronauts Josh Cassada and Frank Rubio Saturday’s spacewalk was the 256th in support of space station assembly, upgrades, and maintenance, NASA confirmed.
