Today at #SpaceSymposium we're talking with @redwire about 2 new recently installed @Space_Station solar arrays. The smaller arrays added 40 kW of power to the orbiting lab - enough to power 13 houses.
Tune in to Redwire Space social media at ~11:30 a.m. MT to learn more.

Astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Thomas Pesquet installed these solar arrays in June to add to @Space_Station's power grid. Half the size of the original arrays, these produce 2x the energy. More are on the way in '22 and '23. #SpaceSymposium
