NASA has released a series of awesome photos from its most recent spacewalk outside the International Space Station. <\/p>\n

Astronauts Jessica Meir and Chris Williams conducted U.S. spacewalk 94, exiting the orbiting laboratory\u2019s Quest airlock to prepare the 2A power channel for the future ISS Roll-Out Solar Arrays (IROSA) installation. It was Meir\u2019s fourth spacewalk and Williams\u2019 first.<\/p>\n

The photos were taken on either a Nikon Z9<\/a> with a 50-500mm f\/4.5-6.3 lens attached, or a Nikon D5 with a fixed 28mm f\/2.8 lens.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week I had the privilege of conducting my fourth spacewalk, venturing out to deploy a bracket to hold a new solar array to augment the power system of the space station,\u201d Meir writes on X.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cThis spacewalk felt even more special than my previous ones because I shared the experience with a first-time spacewalker, NASA astronaut Chris Williams.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a tremendously powerful feeling to pass the torch to the next generation of explorers that will keep this space station running,\u201d she adds. <\/p>\n

While Meir and Williams were spacewalking, a satellite snapped a remarkable photo of the ISS<\/a> as the pair were outside of it. <\/p>\n
