iss075e0070083 (Aug. 25, 2026) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 75 flight engineer Anil Menon is attached to the Canadarm2 robotic arm’s latching end effector during a spacewalk to install a high-speed space-to-ground antenna on the International Space Station’s Z1 truss segment above the Unity module. Menon and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut and Expedition 75 flight engineer Sophie Adenot (out of frame) spent six hours and 30 minutes replacing a failed antenna with a spare and making the precise connections needed to activate it for high-speed transmissions with mission control.
