Astronauts Install Roll-Out Solar Arrays in Spacewalk

Original: Spacewalkers Install Roll-Out Solar Arrays for Power Generation

Astronauts carried out a spacewalk to install roll-out solar arrays designed to boost power generation in orbit. NASA says the new arrays augment the station's existing solar wings, which have degraded over decades of use. The technique, with panels that unroll like a carpet, is being watched as a model for future spacecraft and commercial power systems in space.

Why now: The installation marks a notable advance in orbital power technology and sustains long-term station operations.
