On Thursday, May 1, NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers will step outside the International Space Station to complete station upgrades. The spacewalk is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 UTC) and last about six and a half hours.
McClain and Ayers will relocate communications antenna and install a mounting bracket to prepare for the installation of a new set of International Space Station Rollout Solar Arrays, also called IROSAs, on a later spacewalk. The arrays will boost the station’s power generation capability by up to 30%.
McClain will wear a suit with red stripes; Ayers will wear an unmarked suit. This will be the third spacewalk for McClain and the first for Ayers.
