NASA's Expedition 75 has begun with the first of three spacewalks aboard the International Space Station, focusing on space manufacturing techniques and crew health checks using augmented reality and artificial intelligence methods. Spacewalk 96, led by astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon, will install hardware outside the ISS to modify the station's power channel and prepare for the installation of a roll-out solar array to provide additional power for critical station operations. Spacewalks 97 and 98 will involve replacing a space-to-ground antenna on the orbital complex, connecting power channel cables, data relay systems, and replacing a navigation aid used for spacecraft docking, as well as conducting bioprinting to manufacture living cells and tissues for advanced treatments.
