EventEVA
US EVA-98
NASA astronaut Anil Menon and ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot will install a Space-to-Ground antenna on the orbital complex. The antenna is a critical communication system NASA uses to transmit data and high‑speed communication between the Mission Control Center in Houston and the space station. The astronauts also will replace a retroreflector used for spacecraft docking on the Harmony module’s forward port.
