NASA astronauts Steve Bowen and Warren "Woody" Hoburg are taking a spacewalk on Thursday, June 15, to add a new solar panel to the International Space Station.
Bowen and Hoburg are scheduled to install a second International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Array, or IROSA, on this spacewalk, after previously installing one on June 9. The new arrays will increase the power capacity of the orbiting laboratory.
The spacewalk is scheduled to begin at 8:55 a.m. EDT (1255 UTC) and last about six hours. This is Bowen's tenth spacewalk and the second for Hoburg.
