- NASA and ESA astronauts are carrying out repairs in outer space. Broadcast
Astronauts working on the International Space Station (ISS) will perform a spacewalk on August 18 to replace an outdated antenna for communication with Earth. Izvestia is broadcasting the event.
Anil Menon, an astronaut with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and Sophie Adenault, an astronaut with the European Space Agency (ESA), for whom this will be her first trip into the vacuum of space, will have to dismantle the old antenna that provided data and voice communication between the Mission Control Center in Houston and the orbital laboratory, and place it on the station's external platform, and then install a new antenna on the Z1 segment of the ISS truss.
The exit from the Quest gateway module of the American segment of the station will last approximately 6.5 hours. It will be the 282nd in a row as part of the assembly, maintenance and modernization of the space station.
Military Watch Magazine reported on July 15 that the flight of the Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft to the ISS demonstrates the continued cooperation between Russia and the United States in the space sector. The publication notes that the spacecraft successfully delivered two Russian cosmonauts and an American astronaut to the ISS, which indicates the continuation of joint work between Moscow and Washington in the field of manned space exploration.
