U.S. EVA 77, originally scheduled to take place Tuesday, Aug. 24, will focus on attaching a support bracket in preparation for future installation of the orbiting laboratory''s third
NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough and European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet installed new solar arrays during a six-hour spacewalk on Sunday, providing an increase in power to the space station. The spacewalk came after facing "technical delays" during a previous spacewalk on Wednesday.
In the third spacewalk of the year outside the International Space Station, the two NASA astronauts began work to install modification kits required for upcoming solar array upgrades. The duo worked near the farthest set of existing solar arrays on the station’s left (port) side, known as P6.
Two NASA astronauts deployed the sixth and last (for now) upgraded solar array outside of the International Space Station, increasing the orbital laboratory's power supply while tying an American spacewalk record.
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.
NASA is planning to order a final pair of roll-out solar arrays to complete the space station’s electrical upgrade, which will ensure the lab has enough power to support research through the station’s planned retirement date in 2030.

The solar arrays on the SpaceX CRS-28 mission will be installed on the starboard side of the space station’s football field-long power truss, labeled here on Channels 1A and 1B of the electrical system.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
