ESACountdown to Sophie Adenot's second spacewalk 🧑🚀 Just one week after making her spacewalking debut, our astronaut Sophie Adenot is heading back outside the International Space Station. Together with NASA astronaut Anil Menon, Sophie will exit the Station from the Quest airlock at approximately 13:35 BST/14:35 CEST to install a Space-to-Ground antenna (SGANT) – a critical communications system used to transmit data and enable high-speed communication between Mission Control in Houston and the Space Station. Anil and Sophie are expected to spend about six and a half hours outside the orbital complex, installing and connecting the antenna to restore full redundancy to the Station. Watch it live on ESA WebTV and the ESA’s YouTube channel. Coverage begins at 12:00 BST/13:00 CEST. 📹 European Space Agency (ESA) #ESA #Astronaut #Spacewalk
