Overview
- The two‑person EVA finished successfully on Sept. 1 and lasted six hours and 49 minutes with all primary tasks completed.
- Meir and Adenot replaced a degraded retroreflector on the Harmony module that guides visiting spacecraft during rendezvous and docking, restoring a key navigation aid fouled by thruster residue.
- They also swapped a truss high‑definition camera, installed power and thermal jumper cables to boost data and system redundancy, and prepared the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer for a future upgrade.
- Adenot reported reduced shoulder mobility late in the outing and Mission Control guided Meir through an on‑orbit inspection and suit adjustment that freed a kinked harness and allowed a safe return to the Quest airlock.
- The EVA was logged as US EVA‑99 and the 284th ISS spacewalk, raised Meir’s career total to seven EVAs (about 49 hours 22 minutes) and Adenot’s to three (about 19 hours 42 minutes), and continued a concentrated 2026 maintenance tempo to sustain the aging orbital lab.
