NASA astronauts Neil Menon and Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk have completed a nearly seven-hour spacewalk to install the final solar array on the International Space Station. The installation wraps up a five-year project and is expected to boost the station’s power generation by up to 30%, bringing its total capacity to approximately 215 kilowatts. NASA plans to continue operating the 26-year-old orbital laboratory through 2030 before its planned deorbit in 2031. Jacob Miller reports for One America News.
