NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk concluded a spacewalk outside the International Space Station at 3:08 p.m. EDT on Oct. 29, 2026. During the 7-hour, 11-minute excursion, the pair installed and deployed an International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA) on the station's 2A electrical power channel.

In its Oct. 29 report, NASA said this was the seventh IROSA installed and that it would provide additional power for critical operations, including a safe and controlled deorbit. The crew also completed preparatory tasks for another spacewalk then planned for Nov. 5, with the aim of installing the eighth and final IROSA on the 3B power channel.

Under the plan described in that report, completing the final installation would finish the station's power-system upgrade. NASA projected that the eight arrays together would increase available power by up to 30%, raising generation capacity from 160 kilowatts to approximately 215 kilowatts. The spacewalk was Menon's fourth and Kutryk's first, and the 285th in support of station assembly, maintenance and upgrades.
