NASA astronauts Raja Chari and Kayla Barron will take a 6.5-hour spacewalk outside the International Space Station on March 15, 2022.
Barron and Chari will depart via the station's Quest airlock. Barron will serve as extravehicular crewmember 1 and wear a spacesuit with red stripes; Chari will be extravehicular crewmember 2 and wear a suit with no stripes. The duo will"translate over to the Starboard-4 truss structure and install modification kits that will ready the space station for its third roll-out solar array," NASA officialsTwo of a planned six ISS Roll-Out Solar Arrays, or iROSAs, have been deployed on the station so far. The next two are scheduled to come up to the orbiting lab on a SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule this fall, NASA officials said during a press conference on Monday.
The installation of all six iROSAs will boost the space station's total available power from 160 kilowatts to 215 kilowatts.NASA has another spacewalk planned for March 23, involving crewmembers to be named later.
