NASA Flight Engineers Kayla Barron and Raja Chari will conduct the Tuesday, March 15, spacewalk, designated U.S. EVA 79, assembling and installing modification kits required for upcoming solar array upgrades. The pair will install brackets and struts to support the future installation of an ISS Roll-Out Solar Array (iROSA). So far, two of six iROSAs have been deployed on station with four additional arrays to be delivered. The arrays will eventually supplement six of the station's eight power channels, raising the station's total available power from 160 to 215 kilowatts.

Barron will be extravehicular crewmember 1 (EV 1) and will be dressed in a red striped outfit. Chari will be extravehicular crewmember 2 (EV 2) and will be dressed in a suit without stripes. The spacewalk will be Barron's second in his career and Chari's first. The spacewalk will last around 6 and a half hours.
