S6 truss in place

Finally in today's spacewalk the S6 truss segment was bolted to the International Space Station by spacewalkers Steve Swanson and Richard Arnold.


The spacewalk is now ongoing since 5 hours and will last for another hour or so.

The coming actions will be the connection of data and power cables to fully setup the S6 truss segment with battery and radiators.

Once the astronauts will be safely inside the station there will be the solar array deployment after which ISS will achieve for the first time its complete power configuration.
