ESA's Sophie Adenot (EV1) and NASA's Jessica Meir (EV2) are preparing for the last in a series of EVAs aboard ISS.
The goals for today are:
- Replace a retroreflector used by visiting vehicles
- Install jumper cables for the data-relay systems
- Prepare the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer’s radiator for future maintenance
- Replace an External HD Camera (EHDC)
This will be Adenot's 3rd, and Meir's 7th EVA.

The 45 Weather Squadron has published the L-2 day weather forecast ahead of Sunday's Roman Space Telescope launch attempt.
They give a 40% chance of violating weather constraints (POV) - 60% PGO. Primary concerns are the Cumulus Cloud Rule and Surface Electrical Field Rule.
In the event of a 24h delay, POV improves by 10%, giving a 70% PGO. The only concern would be the Cumulus Cloud Rule.

It's ground hog day (again). Part 2 of the Space to Ground Antenna Remove & Replace (R&R).
Last week, NASA's Anil Menon and ESA's Sophie Adenot removed the failed antenna and stowed it. Today, the duo will install the replacement, which they ran out of time to complete last EVA.

US EVA 97: Sophie Adenot and Anil Menon have returned to the airlock and will be moving into repress.
This was the first EVA for ESA's Sophie Adenot, and the first for a French woman.
Today's EVA also marked the second for Menon, in just a few weeks.
The crew did not get to the stage of installing the replacement antenna due to unexpected difficulty demating electrical connections from the 16 year old dish. Replacement will be moved to a future EVA.
