Deuxième Sortie Spatiale Pour La Spationaute Sophie Adenot
- On Tuesday, NASA astronaut Anil Menon and European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot are conducting a spacewalk outside the International Space Station to finish installing a replacement Space-to-Ground antenna for Mission Control in Houston.
- The pair returns to complete the task after their August 18 excursion, when recalcitrant bolts and connectors prevented them from finishing the antenna replacement as originally scheduled during Adenot's history-making first spacewalk.
- Assigned as "crewmember 1" and "crewmember 2," Menon and Adenot will receive support from inside the station, where crewmates Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway operate the Canadarm2 robotic arm to assist the operation.
- If time permits, the astronauts also plan to replace a retroreflector on the Harmony module's forward port, an extra task intended to improve navigation data for spacecraft visiting the orbiting laboratory.
- This mission marks the 283rd extravehicular activity in the International Space Station's history, continuing collaborative work since Adenot arrived in February as part of SpaceX's Crew-12 mission.
