NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon completed a spacewalk outside the International Space Station on August 6, 2026, concluding at 3 p.m. EDT, NASA reported that day. It was Menon's first spacewalk and Meir's sixth.

During the 6-hour, 27-minute spacewalk, the two astronauts met their primary objectives, including preparing the 3B power channel. According to NASA, this work was intended to enable the future installation of roll-out solar arrays, known as IROSA, to provide additional power for the orbiting laboratory and to support critical systems and the station's safe, controlled deorbit.

The spacewalk was the 281st in support of space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades, NASA said.
