- Anil Menon and Jessica Meir ventured outside the International Space Station on Thursday for a 6.5-hour spacewalk to install mounting hardware on the station's 3B power channel.
- The newly installed mounting hardware will prepare the station's 3B power channel for the future installation of new roll-out solar arrays.
Why it matters: This 6.5-hour spacewalk is the preparatory step that readies the ISS's 3B power channel for new roll-out solar arrays, a direct upgrade to the station's aging power infrastructure.
