The seven Expedition 75 crew members cleaned up after a spacewalk, conducted biomedical assessments and maintained orbital systems to close out a busy week aboard the International Space Station, NASA reported on November 6, 2026.
Flight engineers Joshua Kutryk of the Canadian Space Agency and Anil Menon of NASA reconfigured spacesuits and stowed spacewalking tools inside the Quest airlock after Thursday's six-hour and 59-minute spacewalk. According to NASA, the pair completed a years-long effort to raise the station's power generation capacity from 160 kilowatts to 215 kilowatts, or about 30%, by installing the eighth roll-out solar array on the station's truss structure. On Friday they refilled suit water tanks, removed air bubbles, installed rechargeable batteries and powered down spacewalk equipment. They also joined NASA flight engineers Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney for a post-spacewalk conference with ground engineers.
In the Roscosmos segment, flight engineer Sergey Teteryatnikov measured his blood pressure with arm, wrist and finger cuffs and jogged on the Zvezda service module's treadmill while attached to electrodes measuring heart and breathing rates, data used to study how microgravity affects the cardiorespiratory system. Flight engineer Anna Kikina serviced ventilation systems and scientific payload hardware, while station commander Pyotr Dubrov completed an overnight carbon dioxide monitoring session, downloaded the data to mission controllers and inspected modules and hatches.
