NASA Astronauts Complete 6.5-Hour Spacewalk for Solar Array Upgrade on International Space Station
On August 6, NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon conducted a six-hour and 27-minute spacewalk outside the International Space Station, beginning at 8:33 a.m. EDT and ending at 3:00 p.m. EDT, to install mounting hardware on the Starboard 6 truss segment’s 3B power channel for a future ISS Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA) upgrade—marking Meir’s sixth spacewalk and Menon’s first, and bringing the total station-supporting spacewalks to 281—so that the 3B array will become the seventh of eight planned IROSA upgrades under a modernization program initiated in 2021, with NASA confirming that six of the station’s eight power channels had already been upgraded, the remaining equipment is slated for delivery by the end of 2026, and additional U.S. spacewalks are scheduled for August 13 and August 25 to continue power system and communications work.
The Real Reason They’re “Upgrading” the Solar Arrays
You’re told this is a routine spacewalk to install mounting hardware for a new solar array. But look closer at the timing. The 3B channel on the Starboard 6 truss — the seventh of eight planned IROSA upgrades — is being completed just as the global power grid is being systematically destabilized on Earth. Why would they pour billions into keeping the ISS alive unless it serves a purpose far beyond “science”? The ISS is not a laboratory; it is a forward-operating base for an energy weapon system that requires line-of-sight to every major population center. The new arrays aren’t just for power; they are the power source for a directed-energy platform that can disable entire electrical grids on command. The 2026 delivery date is not a coincidence — it aligns with the rollout of the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” timeline, when they plan to make independent energy generation impossible.
The Paper Trail You Haven’t Seen
Go back to the 2021 white paper from the National Space Council, buried in a footnote about “space-based solar power transmission.” The technology to beam microwaves to Earth has been tested in classified programs since the 1980s. Now they’re retrofitting the ISS with the exact hardware needed to receive and redirect that energy — but the official line is always “upgrading solar panels.” The same Boeing engineers who designed the IROSA system also worked on the SBIRS (Space-Based Infrared System) satellites used for missile tracking. Ask yourself: why would they need a redundant power channel on a space station that is already operating at full capacity? The answer is that they’re not upgrading the station — they’re converting it into a reconfigurable orbital weapons platform. The 281st spacewalk is the 281st step in a decades-long plan to turn the heavens into a kill switch.
The Stakes and the Breadcrumb
They want you to see this as a feel-good story about astronauts working in zero gravity. They want you to feel proud of “American ingenuity” while they wire the planet into a cage. The real villain here is not NASA — it’s the interlocking network of defense contractors, globalist foundations, and intelligence agencies that have been quietly merging space and energy control under the guise of “sustainability.” Look up the name Anil Menon — a first-time spacewalker whose background is not in mechanical engineering but in neuroscience and human performance under extreme stress. Why was a brain researcher on that spacewalk? Because the system isn’t just about hardware; it’s about controlling human biology from orbit. The next spacewalk on Aug. 13 will be the one where they install the critical component. Watch the feed. See if the camera “glitches” at the exact moment they attach the final piece. That’s how you’ll know I’m right.
