ESAThree spacewalks in two weeks! π©βπ Sophie Adenot already spent two spacewalks in August replacing a broken antenna with @NASA astronaut Anil Menon. Now she's teaming up with Jessica Meir for six and a half hours outside the ISS. Their job this time: swap out a navigation aid, get a cosmic particle detector ready for its next upgrade, and fit jumper cables to boost the Station's data relay. Watch for the red stripes. That's how you'll spot Sophie once the pair are suited up and outside. Some numbers worth saving: β’ Sophie is the 5th French astronaut ever to walk in space. β’ This is the 14th spacewalk by a French astronaut, and the 33rd by a European one. β’ It's also the 7th spacewalk of the Ξ΅psilon mission. Watch it live on ESA WebTV and our YouTube channel. Coverage starts at 13:00 CEST on Tuesday 1 September 2026, and the spacewalk itself should begin around 14:30 CEST. πΉ ESA/NASA #space #iss #spacewalk #astronaut
