'You just saved the video dish': Two astronauts complete spacewalk to replace ISS antenna

On August 25th, astronaut Anil Menon and Sophie Adenot undertook a critical six-and-a-half hour extravehicular activity (EVA) at the International Space Station. The primary objective of this mission was to install a new Space-to-Ground antenna on the station’s exterior. This replacement is vital for maintaining communication links between the ISS and ground control teams. The successful completion of the task ensures continued operational capabilities for the orbiting laboratory. Engineers are currently assessing the performance of the newly installed equipment following its deployment.
