Canadian Astronaut Joshua Kutryk Conducts Spacewalk for New Solar Array
Expedition 75 flight engineer Joshua Kutryk installs a roll-out solar array on the ISS during a spacewalk.
Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, serving as a flight engineer on Expedition 75, performed a spacewalk to install a new roll-out solar array on the International Space Station. The work took place on the station's port side truss structure.
During the spacewalk, Kutryk had his spacesuit's helmet visor down, a standard configuration for such operations. The installation is part of ongoing efforts to upgrade the station's power system.
The new solar array is designed to roll out and provide additional electrical power for the orbiting laboratory. Kutryk is one of several crew members supporting maintenance and upgrades aboard the ISS.
