US Spacewalk 93 Animation

An animation of U.S. spacewalk 93 scheduled for Thursday, May, 1 when NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers will exit the station’s Quest airlock to relocate a space station communications antennae and install a mounting bracket ahead of the installation of an additional set of International Space Station Rollout Solar Arrays, also called IROSA. The arrays will boost power generation capability by up to 30%, increasing the station’s total available power from 160 kilowatts to up to 215 kilowatts. The arrays will be installed on a future spacewalk following their arrival on a SpaceX Dragon commercial resupply services mission later this year. This animation was narrated by flight director Diana Trujillo.
