The installation of the 7th Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA) on the International Space Station is a critical step in ensuring the station's power supply and safe deorbit.

NASA astronaut Anil Menon and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk are currently installing and deploying the Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA) on the 2A electrical power channel of the International Space Station. The solar array will be the 7th IROSA and will provide additional power to support critical station operations, including its safe and controlled deorbit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv867HnY4j4 https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-to-host-news-conference-previewing-us-spacewalks-100-101/ 1/n
