Astronauts Anil Menon and Sophie Adenot on Spacewalk
- On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, NASA astronaut Anil Menon and European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot will exit the International Space Station to replace an old high-speed antenna on the station's truss structure.
- This mission marks Menon's third consecutive spacewalk, following ventures on August 6 and August 18, as the pair continues work to upgrade the station's communication infrastructure.
- During the operation, Menon will be stationed in Canada's 56-foot-long Canadarm2 robotic arm while Adenot remains tethered to the station; this venture is the 98th of its kind with NASA astronauts.
- NASA will provide live coverage starting at 7 a.m. ET on multiple streaming platforms, including the agency's free app, Amazon Prime, and YouTube.
- Scheduled as the sixth spacewalk of 2026, this is the final of three planned for August, while seven astronauts from Expedition 75 currently work aboard the orbital laboratory.
