Expedition 75 Cleans Up After Spacewalk, Keeps Up Microgravity Research
The Expedition 75 crew members cleaned up on Wednesday after a spacewalk that saw two astronauts uninstall an antenna outside the International Space Station. The lab residents also continued their microgravity research exploring the circulatory system, studying artificial intelligence, and photographing the Earth.

Expedition 75 astronauts Anil Menon and Sophie Adenot concluded a six-hour and 23-minute spacewalk on Aug. 18, 2026, by cleaning up after successfully disconnecting and securing a failed antenna on the International Space Station (ISS). During their mission, they continued microgravity research in areas such as circulatory system health, artificial intelligence, and Earth observation.
Adenot spent time refilling spacesuit water tanks in the Quest airlock, while Station Commander Jessica Meir helped power down suit components and stow hardware. After the spacewalk, all four astronauts had downtime to relax. Menon conducted blood tests and vein scans, while Meir monitored his results in real-time. The three cosmonauts, including Andrey Fedyaev, performed tasks related to human research, technology, Earth observation, and life support systems.
