This view is from the upper port camera, looking down the truss. @Astro_Jessica was using this to make sure @csa_asc’s arm had clearance, but you can see three different #CRONUS antennae in this shot! https://twitter.com/space_station/status/1197921248275132416
To the right, you can see both Ku-Band antennae. One is parked in the “bird-bath” home position, but the other is tracking TDRS, providing a 600 mbps link back from ISS, providing video, audio, science and internet!
Smack in the middle (the megaphone looking one) is one of our two S-Band High Gain Antennae, providing our critical command and telemetry link to @Space_Station. You can also see it slowly tracking TDRS in this shot
And finally, but arguably most important for any EVA, to the bottom left you can see one of our UHF antennas! These provide the link to the UHF radios in the spacesuits, providing two-way voice and biomedical/suit data
