Two NASA astronauts completed a successful spacewalk at the ISS on Thursday, installing a solar array as part of work to upgrade the facility's power supply.
Woody Hoburg and Steve Bowen ended their extravehicular activity at at 2:17 p.m. ET after spending 5 hours and 35 minutes working on the outside of the orbital outpost.
Related NASA lives streamed the entire spacewalk and later released footage of the array slowly unfurling on the space station about 250 miles above Earth. The work on upgrading the station’s power supply has been going on for several years and is still not complete, with additional arrays scheduled to be delivered and installed in 2025.
It was the second spacewalk for Hoburg following his first one earlier this month, which the 37-year-old American described as “an incredible life experience.”
