Job well done, @Astro_Kimbrough and @Thom_Astro! 👏👏 The astronaut duo are safely inside the @Space_Station, marking the end of today’s spacewalk after 6 hours and 45 minutes. https://t.co/PppRIGJaCt — PolitiTweet.org

Our astronauts know the drill! 🔩 After using the troubleshooting methods from the June 16 spacewalk, the pair of astronauts set the new @Space_Station solar array in its fastened position on the mounting bracket using a pistol grip drill tool. https://t.co/tWwi6ESWvu — PolitiTweet.org

@ExplosiveCat @Space_Station They can spacewalk as often as the replenishment of consumables can be accommodated like water and oxygen! Typically, we try to time spacewalks for 6.5 hours. The consumables could keep them out for up to 2 hours longer than that. — PolitiTweet.org

@PaulKonen It'll be re-attached robotically to the trunk of the Cargo Dragon vehicle and will be jetisoned along with the trunk to burn up in the atmosphere, while the cargo dragon returns back to earth in July. — PolitiTweet.org

@ONTOPORBOTTOM This depends on the nature of the emergency and the location in relation to the airlock. In a serious emergency, we'd try to get them back inside within 10 minutes of the emergency declared, but that's not always possible. — PolitiTweet.org

@astroandart The change will be minimal! They won't have the same amount of reflectivity as the older arrays. They're not as big, and they're partially shadowed by the old arrays. — PolitiTweet.org

#ASKNASA Q: Does @Thom_Astro simply put his feet in the foot restraint? Or does he use something else to secure them? A: Great question! He simply slips his feet in the foot restraint & is tethered to other structures for safety. Watch: https://t.co/DkC9eNn9iD — PolitiTweet.org

@Thundertom79 Because spacesuits act as mini-spaceships containing a life support system and more, there is a control panel and displays on the front of each suit. To see the controls, astronauts wear a wrist mirror on their arm. — PolitiTweet.org

@thenanaaba 💫 Great question! All astronauts train for spacewalks, but it mostly depends on timing, skillset, and needs. Some are selected to train for specific tasks, like today's installation of the new solar arrays. — PolitiTweet.org

✨ Nothing casual about this Friday. At 7:52 am ET (11:52 UT), @Astro_Kimbrough and @Thom_Astro began today’s spacewalk. For the next ~6.5 hours, the duo will work on installing and deploying new solar arrays on the @Space_Station. https://t.co/vQUWoVgX4T — PolitiTweet.org
