NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk began a spacewalk at 8:36 a.m. EST on November 5, 2026, outside the International Space Station airlock, according to a NASA space station blog post. Their task is to install and deploy the eighth and final IROSA on the station's 3B channel, which NASA describes as completing the power augmentation upgrades.
Kutryk is serving as spacewalk crew member 1 in the suit with red stripes, while Menon is crew member 2 in the unmarked suit. NASA said the spacewalk is being streamed through a variety of platforms and pointed readers to its live coverage page for viewing details.
The two astronauts previously trained for spacewalking at Johnson Space Center's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, Texas, where a NASA photo shows them during preparation.
