Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk is participating in his first spacewalk to install new solar panels on the International Space Station.

Josh Kutryk from Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta is about to embark on his first EVA aboard the International Space Station. During U.S. spacewalk 100, NASA astronaut Anil Menon (yes, Anna Menon is his wife) and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk will exit the station’s Quest airlock to install and deploy an International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA) on the 2A electrical power channel. The solar array will be the seventh IROSA and will provide additional power to support critical station operations, including its safe and controlled deorbit in the early 2030s. Menon will serve as spacewalk crew member 1 and will wear a suit with red stripes. Kutryk will serve as crew member 2 and will wear an unmarked suit. #iss #space #csa #canada #alberta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv867HnY4j4
