ISS August 2026 spacewalks

Entities: International Space Station · Anil Menon · Jessica Meir · International Space Station Roll‑Out Solar Array (IROSA) · National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

Overview

NASA announced three United States‑led spacewalks on the International Space Station for August 6, 13 and 25, detailing tasks such as installing hardware for the IROSA solar‑array upgrade, replacing a critical communications antenna, and connecting power‑channel cables and data‑relay systems on the Harmony module. A preview news conference was scheduled for July 30.

A few days later, Expedition 75 officials confirmed the same EVA schedule and added that the seven‑person crew, now including ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot and NASA astronaut Jack Hathaway, would conduct bioprinting experiments in the Kibo laboratory. The team mixed cartilage cells with bio‑ink and printed samples for return to Earth, while also testing new exercise equipment. Command of the station transferred to Jessica Meir on July 25, marking the first time a female astronaut led the expedition during these operations.
