TL;DR Summary

During a six-hour, 23-minute ISS spacewalk, Anil Menon and Sophie Adenot removed a failed space-to-ground antenna, freed tight cables and attempted to secure it, but there wasn’t time to move the unit to storage or install the spare antenna; the failed antenna is lashed down near its boom while the replacement remains bolted to a storage platform, and a second spacewalk is planned next week to decide whether to install the spare then or defer the task; Adenot also becomes the first French woman to walk in space.
