NASA released a video of astronauts installing solar panels on the ISS on Sunday (20/6).

Two astronauts were deployed to do a spacewalk and install the solar panels.

The plan is that astronauts on the ISS will install six solar panels to increase electrical power there. However, the installation process encountered problems after the sensor in one of the astronaut suits failed.

In addition, the hatch to the ISS could not be closed, so the installation process had to be stopped. Some of these obstacles finally made the number of solar panels that have been installed only one panel.
