Sophie Adenot’s first spacewalk

ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot will make her first spacewalk during U.S. Spacewalk 97, teaming up with NASA astronaut Anil Menon. Their task is to replace a Space-to-Ground antenna on the International Space Station, a critical communications system that provides high-speed data and voice links between Mission Control in Houston and the station.

The spacewalk is scheduled to begin at approximately 14:35 CEST. Live coverage starts at 13:00 CEST on ESA WebTV and the ESA's YouTube channel.
