Two NASA’s pioneers performed the fifth performance of the fifth corridors in all female today (May 1), where they transferred an air and partially prepared for the International Space Station for a new set of solar array.
Campaign 73 The crew colleagues, Ann McLean and Nicole Aires, have competed in Excel activity for 5 hours and 44 minutes (EVA, or space) At 2:49 pm EST (1849 GMT) today, after re -inserting it into the station Quest Airlock to the station and began to re -pressure it.
MCCLAIN and Ayers have accomplished most of what you have set today, but they are late in the schedule and with limited consumables, they had to postpone some tasks into a later spacecraft.

I started starting at 9:05 am EST (1305 GMT), the two women carried tools and equipment to the side (or left) of the spine of the space station, where they reached the collection of attachments for the seventh husband from the rows of international space stations, or Erosa, which will be installed after arriving on A. Spacex Dragon Commercial Services Services Mission later this year.
Upon completion, the smaller solar array, but more efficient, will enhance the possibility of generating electricity by up to 30 %, which increases the total energy available to the station from 160 to 215 kilowatts.
McLean and Erz built and installed the upper triangle for a tragedy box modification group, as well as the correct supports, but instructions were directed to clean work stations and move to the following priority task.
“We got to Config Min and decided to clean and set C2V2 priorities [Common Communications for Visiting Vehicles]”Monitor the task in NASA Johnson Space Center In Houston I advised two impurities.

Space pioneers store their devices and re -placed self -control. Then she and Erz met in the P3, also on the left side of International Space Station. There they transferred an antenna used by Northrop Grumman Cygeus Cargo vehicles when they come to re -supply the space station.
With the limited time in EVA, astronauts concluded their work by treating two “Get to” tasks. While Airez ran and tied the bird cable to convert DC power from the P6 in the United States sector to the Russian part of the space station, MCCLAIN worked to launch the screws on the lid of the mitaloid delicate widowment to prepare it in the future.
“With the fact that this year is the twenty -fifth anniversary of a continuous human presence in space, it seems appropriate that we continue to upgrade ISS Make it alive until 2030“Radio Aires to control the mission after it returned to a flight.
“What we are doing here does not reinforce our efforts to return to it only the moon And move to MarsAires said: “

This space was the third of McCleine and the first time for Airez. Malikin has now recorded a total of 18 hours and 52 minutes outside the space station.
This was 93 of Eva, which will be organized by US Quest Airlock and 275 in general to support the assembly, maintenance and promotion of ISS, which it has been constantly occupied by the rotating spacecraft crews since November 2000.
The first Eva was implemented by NASA Pioneers Kristina Koch and Jessica Mir In October 2019. This duo conducted two space differences in January 2020, and Yasmine Moggilili and Laral Uhar walked on their own. November 2023.
