NASA astronaut Kayla Barron points the camera at herself for an out-of-this-world “space-selfie” during a spacewalk that took place on Dec. 2, 2021. She will go on another spacewalk on Tuesday, March 15, with fellow NASA astronaut Raja Chari to install a modification kit on the space station’s Starboard-3 truss structure. The new hardware will enable the upcoming installation of a third roll-out solar array increasing the station’s power output and augmenting the existing solar arrays. #nasa #astronaut #selfie #walk #spacewalk #international #space #station
