US EVA-100/101 Preview News ConferencePress EventJohnson Space Center, Houston, TX, USANASA will preview two upcoming spacewalks to complete solar array installation and power augmentation of the International Space Station during a news conference at 2 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, Oct. 20, from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. NASA participants include: - Gaurang Patel, operations integration manager, Low Earth Orbit Program - Garrett Hehn, spacewalk flight director, Flight Operations Directorate
Artemis Acceleration Press ConferencePress Event—Participants include: - NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman - NASA Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya - Jeremy Parsons, NASA’s Artemis program manager
US EVA-100EVAInternational Space StationNASA astronaut Anil Menon and CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk will exit the station’s Quest airlock to install and deploy an International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA) on the 2A electrical power channel. The solar array will be the seventh IROSA and will provide additional power to support critical station operations, including its safe and controlled deorbit.
RS-25 Engine TestStatic FireFred Haise Test Stand, NASA’s Stennis Space Center ApproximateNASA is conducting a hot fire of an RS-25 engine as part of certification testing for future SLS (Space Launch System) rockets. The test of developmental RS-25 engine No. 10001 is planned to run for almost eight-and-a-half minutes (500 seconds) and throttle up to 111% of its rated power level.
US EVA-101EVAInternational Space StationNASA astronaut Anil Menon and CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk will install and deploy the eighth and final IROSA on the 3B channel of the space station, completing the power augmentation upgrades. The final two roll-out solar arrays will complete the space station’s power system augmentation. Together, the eight roll-out arrays will increase available power by up to 30%, boosting the station’s electric power generation capacity from 160 kilowatts to approximately 215 kilowatts.
BepiColombo Mercury Orbit InsertionOrbital InsertionMercury ApproximateOrbital insertion around Mercury of the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission.
Solar Orbiter Venus FlybyFlybyVenusSolar Orbiter, a partnership between ESA and NASA, will perform a gravity assist maneuver with Venus on December 24, 2026. Throughout its mission it also makes repeated gravity assist flybys of Venus to get closer to the Sun, and to change its orbital inclination, boosting it out of the ecliptic plane, to get the best – and first – views of the Sun’s poles.
Europa Clipper Earth FlybyFlybyEarth ApproximateNASA’s Europa Clipper will fly by Earth for a second and final gravity assist on its way to Jupiter.
Boeing Starliner-1 DockingDockingInternational Space Station ApproximateThe Starliner-1 spacecraft will dock autonomously to the International Space Station, carrying four astronauts to the International Space Station.
Boeing Starliner-1 LandingSpacecraft LandingWhite Sands Missile Range ApproximateFollowing its deorbit burn, the Boeing CST-100 Starliner will reenter the Earth's atmosphere and land at the White Sands Missile Range using its parachutes.
Boeing Starliner-1 UndockingSpacecraft UndockingInternational Space Station ApproximateThe Boeing CST-100 Starliner will undock from the International Space Station and conduct a deorbit burn as part of its first operational mission. Following the deorbit burn the capsule will renter the Earth's atmosphere and land at the 'White Sands Missile Range' using its parachutes.
SNC-1 Dream Chaser BerthingSpacecraft BerthingInternational Space Station ApproximateNASA TV will livestream the rendezvous and capture of Sierra Nevada Corporation's Dream Chaser cargo craft to the International Space Station.
SNC-1 Dream Chaser Release & ReentrySpacecraft ReleaseInternational Space Station ApproximateThe Sierra Nevada Corporation SNC-1 Dream Chaser will be unberthed from the ISS before re-entering the Earth's atmosphere and landing at Kennedy Space Center.
SNC-1 Dream Chaser LandingSpacecraft LandingKennedy Space Center, FL, USA ApproximateThe Sierra Nevada Corporation SNC-1 Dream Chaser will land autonomously at the Launch and Landing Facility of Kennedy Space Center.
