AI Customer ServiceLaunched 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.
As expected, the efficiency of the station’s original solar arrays has degraded over time. NASA is upgrading the space station’s power system with the new roll-out solar arrays — at a cost of $103 million — which will partially cover six of the station’s eight original solar panels.
The current solar arrays work well but are reaching the end of their 15-year lifespan. The first pair of the Space Station’s original solar arrays have been in use since 2000 and have been powering the station for more than 20 years.
NASA spacewalker Stephen Bowen works to release a stowed roll-out solar array before installing it on the 1A power channel of the International Space Station’s starboard truss structure. Launched on Nov. 26, 2022. Installed on Dec. 3 and 22, 2022. The roll-out siolar arrays augment the International Space Station’s eight main solar arrays.
Today, with the latest solar panels, it is also receiving a big addition. A team of NASA astronauts onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour deployed the first solar arrays in December 2000. For more than 20 years, the first couple of solar panels have been supplying fuel to the ISS.
