“Spacewalk is not urgent, and crew members continue to progress on other work and activities for the station,” NASA stressed.

NASA plans to complete the installation of a total of six solar panels this year or early 2022, at a cost of $103 million.
These panels measure 20 by 63 feet (6 by 19 meters) and with their operation, the improved system will save the plant approximately 215,000 kilowatts of power.
