French astronaut Sophie Adenot is taking her third spacewalk in two weeks and is leading rare all-female excursion outside ISS. The main mission is to replace a retroreflector, a device that align modules when they arrive towards the space station. Other maintenance operations are planned. The whole excursion is supposed to last between six and six and a half hours. It is only the sixth all-female excursion in space history. #space #iss #astronaut 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
