Astronauts install solar panels on International Space Station

Astronauts have completed a six-hour spacewalk as they installed new solar panels on the International Space Station (ISS).

French and American astronauts carried out the work - high above the Earth below - on Sunday 20 June.

The solar panels, which are 19 metres tall and expected to last 15 years, will power daily tasks and the science projects carried out on the ISS.
