Sophie Adenot and Anil Menon Conduct Spacewalk to Replace ISS Communications Antenna
Astronaut Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency became the first French woman to conduct a spacewalk alongside NASA astronaut Anil Menon on the International Space Station. The six-and-a-half-hour extravehicular activity involved replacing a critical high-speed communications antenna on the ISS's Z1 truss to maintain data transmission with Earth. Inside the station, astronauts Jack Hathaway and Jessica Meir supported the operation, which is part of ongoing maintenance to ensure the station's functionality.
