NASA astronaut Anil Menon and CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk will exit the International Space Station’s Quest airlock for U.S. spacewalk 100 beginning at approximately 8 a.m. EDT on Oct. 29, 2026.
NASA said the outing supports station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades as the 285th spacewalk. It will be Menon’s fourth and Kutryk’s first. Menon will serve as crew member 1 in a suit with red stripes, while Kutryk will serve as crew member 2 in an unmarked suit.
The astronauts will install and deploy the seventh ISS Roll-Out Solar Array on the station’s 2A electrical power channel. NASA said the array will provide additional power for critical station operations, such as the station’s safe and controlled deorbit.
NASA is streaming the coverage live. The agency also lists the space station blog, @space_station on X, ISS Facebook, and ISS Instagram as ways to follow more station activities, alongside a weekly NASA subscription.
