Spationaut Sophie Adenot will be first French woman to walk in space

This French woman is making history. Sophie Adenot is set to become the first French woman to complete a space walk this Tuesday, when she conducts repairs to the outside of the ISS. She'll spend around 6h30 on the task, which is very physically demanding. Details by Ellen Gainsford.

The spacewalk is scheduled to start at around 1400 CET and last six and a half hours, with the goal of replacing a space-to-ground antenna on the orbital complex, according to NASA.
