00:00The failed space-to-ground antenna, which began to exhibit degraded performance in being able to track NASA's tracking and
00:10data relay constellation of satellites late last year,
00:15that failed antenna has been removed from its boom on the Z1 truss of the station as Menon and Adeno
00:23are in the homestretch of tying it down,
00:26what is called a long-duration tie-down using a series of tethers.
00:31It is being tied down on the truss of the station near its operational point at the Z1 truss.
00:38What we will not be performing today is the installation of the spare space-to-ground antenna
00:45because the crew members ran behind earlier in today's spacewalk due to the time that was required
00:53to remove electrical connectors and bolts regarding the failed antenna that held the antenna in place on the boom.
01:06The team is currently looking at perhaps one or two get-ahead tasks just to take advantage of the time
01:15outside of the void of space today,
01:17but the work to install the replacement space-to-ground antenna to restore full redundancy in the high data rate
01:27communications capability for the International Space Station.
01:31We'll wait for another day. There will be some meetings that will be held to determine the priorities and the
01:37further course of action coming up on next Tuesday's spacewalk,
01:43and other activities associated with downstream spacewalks.
