NASA is preparing for two more spacewalks, on Oct. 29 and Nov. 5, that should finish a major multi-year effort to upgrade the power system of the International Space Station, according to Spaceflight Now.

The upgrade is meant to keep the orbiting laboratory supplied with electricity until its planned decommissioning in 2030.

Once both outings are done, the long campaign of installing new solar array hardware on the station will be complete.
