6, 2026. (Image credit: NASA) This will be the third spacewalk for Menon and the second for Adenot, the first French woman ever to conduct an EVA.
Her history-making first excursion occurred on Aug.
18 , when she and Menon removed a failed space-to-ground antenna, a relay link that enables high-speed communications between the International Space Station (ISS) and Mission Control at Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The duo ran out of time before they could install a replacement antenna, however.
