截至2026年12月31日，NASA是否已公开确认国际空间站第101次太空行走任务成功完成（宇航员安全返回并完成既定电力提升相关作业）？

Hear this storyTwo astronauts will conduct a spacewalk outside the International Space Station on Thursday, Nov. 5.The seven-hour venture aims to install a final solar array to boost the station's power.This will be the second spacewalk in a week for NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk.NASA will provide live coverage of the spacewalk starting at 7 a.m. ET on various streaming platforms.Two astronauts who just embarked on a spacewalk a week ago are due to once again exit the International Space Station.

The venture would mark the second of two spacewalks NASA planned for fall at the iconic orbital outpost with the objective of wrapping up a project to boost the space station's power-generating capacity.

Following NASA's landmark 100th spacewalk at the station, one American and one Canadian are preparing to suit up for what could be a seven-hour venture into the vacuum of space.

Here's everything to know about the upcoming spacewalk, and how you can watch it live.

The International Space Station has been stationed in low-Earth orbit for more than 25 years, typically about 260 miles high, where it has been home to astronauts from all over the world. Throughout its lifespan, the station has served as a test bed for scientific research in microgravity and has in years past opened itself up to private commercial missions.

The orbital laboratory is operated through a global partnership of space agencies, including NASA, Roscosmos, the European Space Agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.

More than 290 spacefarers from 26 countries have visited the International Space Station, including 174 from the United States alone, according to NASA. While aboard the ISS, astronauts from all over the world not only help keep the aging station operational, but prepare for humans to venture deeper into space.

A spacewalk, often called extra-vehicular activity in space industry parlance, refers to any activity an astronaut undertakes outside of a space station or spacecraft. Spacewalks require suiting up in specialized suits and exposing oneself to the vacuum of outer space.

The next spacewalk is set for Thursday, Nov. 5, with two astronauts due to exit the International Space Station about 8:30 a.m. ET, according to NASA. The operation is expected to last about seven hours, the agency said in a blog post.
