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 satellites constellation of satellites late last year, that failed antenna has been removed from its boom on the
00:18Z1 truss of the station as Menon and Adeno are in the home stretch of tying it down what is
00:26called a long duration tie down using a series of
00:30tethers. It 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 because the crew
00:46members ran behind earlier in today's spacewalk due to the time that was required to remove electrical connectors and bolts
00:57regarding
00:58the 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 will wait for another day.
01:32There will be some meetings that will be held to determine the priorities and the further course of action coming
01:39up on next Tuesday's spacewalk and other activities associated with downstream spacewalks.
