Technology
Sophie Adenot is about to become the first French woman ever to step outside the International Space Station.
Today (Aug. 18), she'll team up with NASA's Anil Menon for a 6.5-hour spacewalk, starting at 8:35am EDT (1235 GMT).
Space.com stream and antenna swap
You can catch the action live from 7:00am EDT on Space.com via NASA's stream. Their main task? Swapping out a key antenna so the ISS can keep chatting smoothly with mission control in Houston.
This is only the first time a French woman has done a spacewalk. Adenot follows in the footsteps of Jean-Loup Chretien and Thomas Pesquet.
