Sophie Adenot and Anil Menon to resume ISS antenna replacement
Technology
Sophie Adenot, the first French woman to walk in space, is heading out for her second spacewalk on August 25.
She and NASA astronaut Anil Menon will be picking up where they left off earlier this week, after their first attempt to replace a key ISS antenna ran into some hiccups.
Canadarm2 to install spare ISS antenna
Menon will handle the Canadarm2 robotic arm while Adenot grabs a spare antenna from outside the station.
Together, they'll install it and reconnect everything so mission control can stay in touch with the ISS.
The whole operation kicks off at 8:35am EDT (with live coverage from 7 a.m.), and if there's extra time, they might swap out a navigation reflector, too.
