NASA astronaut Anil Menon and ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot will replace a Space-to-Ground antenna, a critical communication system NASA uses to transmit data and high‑speed communication between the Mission Control Center in Houston and the space station, on the orbital complex.

Two NASA astronauts will connect power channel cables and data relay systems as part of ongoing maintenance, including preparations for the space station’s future de-orbit. The astronauts also will replace a navigational aid used for spacecraft docking on the Harmony module’s forward port.
