Astronauts Install New Antenna During ISS Spacewalk
Two astronauts successfully installed a new antenna on the International Space Station (ISS) during a six-hour spacewalk, replacing a faulty one. French astronaut Sophie Adenot and her US colleague Anil Menon accomplished the task, with initial tests indicating a successful replacement.
During an earlier spacewalk, they had removed the old antenna but lacked sufficient time to install the new one. This mission was a success, ensuring a crucial communication link between the ISS and NASA’s control center in Houston.
Key Points:
- Astronauts Sophie Adenot (France) and Anil Menon (US) installed and connected a new antenna on the ISS.
- The six-hour spacewalk followed the removal of a faulty antenna during an earlier mission.
- Initial tests confirmed the successful installation of the replacement antenna.
