NASA astronaut\u00a0Anil Menon<\/a>\u00a0and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut\u00a0Sophie Adenot<\/a>\u00a0concluded their spacewalk outside the International Space Station\u00a0at\u00a02:57\u00a0p.m.\u00a0EDT.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the 6\u2011hour, 30\u2011minute spacewalk, Menon and Adenot successfully installed\u00a0and connected\u00a0the spare Space\u2011to\u2011Ground antenna, a critical link that enables high\u2011speed data transmission between NASA\u2019s Mission Control Center in Houston and the orbital complex. Afterward, they secured the failed unit, which was removed\u00a0and temporarily stowed during the duo\u2019s spacewalk\u00a0on Aug. 18, to a spare\u2011parts platform on the station\u2019s truss structure.<\/p>\n

Initial checkouts of the newly installed antenna showed good power and data transmission.\u00a0Flight controllers on the ground\u00a0will continue testing the antenna overnight to ensure full functionality.\u00a0<\/p>\n

U.S.\u00a0spacewalk\u00a098\u00a0was\u00a0Menon\u2019s\u00a0third\u00a0career spacewalk and\u00a0the\u00a0second\u00a0for Adenot.\u00a0It also\u00a0was the 283rd\u00a0spacewalk in support of space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.<\/p>\n
