Spacewalkers complete solar power upgrade on the ISS

NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk installed and unfolded the eighth and final roll-out solar array on the International Space Station on November 5. NASA said the spacewalk lasted six hours and 59 minutes.

The agency estimates the eight arrays raise the station’s generating capacity from 160 kilowatts to about 215 kilowatts. [evidence-1]
