    FAQs about New solar panels on the International Space Station

    When will solar panels be installed on the International Space Station?

    Launched on June 6, 2023. Installed on June 9 and 15, 2023. The roll-out siolar arrays augment the International Space Station's eight main solar arrays. They produce more than 20 kilowatts of electricity and enable a 30% increase in power production over the station's current arrays.

    Why are solar panels coming to the ISS?

    On SpaceX's CRS-22, the first pair of new solar panels were sent up to the ISS to give the station a little boost. Tomorrow two astronauts will conduct a third spacewalk to continue installing the station's newest addition. The aging solar panels of the International Space Station have had their power production lowering every year.

    Will a solar array power the International Space Station?

    The new solar array deployed Friday will produce electricity for the space station's 1A power channel. Artist's illustration of the International Space Station with three sets of new roll-out solar arrays.

    Will the ISS roll-out solar array boost power production?

    The aging solar panels of the International Space Station have had their power production lowering every year. The power production levels are not at a critical point yet, but a boost would be beneficial. That's where the ISS Roll-Out Solar Array (iROSA) comes in. The first pair of iROSAs has been delivered, with the first one installed.

    Who installed a solar array on the International Space Station?

    Spacewalkers Thomas Pesquet of ESA (European Space Agency) and Akihiko Hoshide of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) set up the 4A channel on the International Space Station's P4 (Port) truss segment for the installation of an roll-out solar array. Launched on Nov. 24, 2021. Installed on Nov. 26, 2021.

    How many power channels does the International Space Station have?

    The International Space Station has eight power channels, each fed with electrical power generated from one solar array wing extending from the station's truss backbone. The new solar array deployed Friday will produce electricity for the space station's 1A power channel.
