During the March 5, 2021, spacewalk, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Soichi Noguchi spent nearly 7 hours working on the farthest set of existing solar arrays on the International Space Station‘s left (port) side, known as P6, to install a modification kit on solar array 4B and reconfigure the modification kit on 2B, completing tasks that were started during the Feb. 28 spacewalk.
In this image, Noguchi installs solar array modification kits to ready the station for newer, more powerful solar arrays being delivered on upcoming SpaceX Dragon cargo missions.
NASA astronauts Victor Glover and Michael Hopkins will continue work on the station during a spacewalk scheduled for 7:30 a.m. EST on Saturday, March 13.
