LIVE | Watch Astronauts Take a Spacewalk to Give the International Space Station a Powerful Upgrade | CNN


This Wednesday NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough and European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet will conduct a spacewalk to begin the installation of new solar panels.

The panels will help provide a boost of energy to the space station.

The hike is scheduled to begin around 8 am ET.

You can watch it live on this page from that time.

Tasks for Wednesday's spacewalk include installing the first two of the ISS's six deployable solar arrays, called iROSA, which will upgrade six of the eight energy channels on the space station.

The first matrix will be installed at the extreme left of the main structure of the station.
