NASA spacewalker and Expedition 64 Flight Engineer Victor Glover works to ready the International Space Station’s port-side truss structure on January 27, 2021, for future solar array upgrades. NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover installed a Ka-band antenna, known as COL-Ka, outside of the ESA (European Space Agency) Columbus module, which will enable an independent, high-bandwidth communication link to European ground stations. Bartolomeo is partially operational and in a safe configuration following the connection of four of six cables to the science platform, and the final two cables that could not be connected will be attended to on a future spacewalk.
