NASA to Broadcast Spacewalks 94 and 95 for ISS Solar Array Prep

NASA is preparing for two spacewalks to upgrade the International Space Station's power system in preparation for the installation of new roll-out solar arrays (IROSAs). The spacewalks, designated U.S. spacewalks 94 and 95, are critical for ensuring the ISS has sufficient power to support its ongoing research and operational activities. The first spacewalk, conducted by Jessica Meir and Chris Williams, will focus on preparing the 2A power channel for the IROSA installation. The second spacewalk will address the 3B power channel. These spacewalks represent the 278th and 279th in support of space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades, and are the first two station spacewalks of 2026. The original schedule was adjusted due to the early departure of NASA’s SpaceX Crew‑11 mission. The successful completion of these spacewalks is essential for maintaining the ISS's capabilities and enabling future scientific endeavors in low Earth orbit.
