The mission began at 12:27 GMT. Twenty minutes later, Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency (ESA) was once again in the vacuum of space around the ISS, accompanied by her teammate, NASA astronaut Anil Menon, mounted on the base of the Canadarm2 robotic arm.
The two astronauts had already spent more than six hours outside the ISS, just enough time to remove the faulty Space-to-Ground antenna, the one NASA engineers call SGANT.
