The final two ISS Roll-Out Solar Arrays arrived aboard Cargo Dragon on October 15, 2026. NASA’s October 21 update described preparations for installation spacewalks planned October 29 and November 5. The full eight-array upgrade is expected to increase available station power by up to 30%. The deployment sequence illustrates planned work, rather than recorded footage of a completed installation.
Status checked October 23, 2026 at 04:40 UTC against NASA’s October 22 update. The October 29 and November 5 installation spacewalks remain planned future work; the up-to-30% power increase refers to the complete eight-array upgrade.
