What's that? A microphone?

S-band (SASAs) [/size]UHF [/size]antennas. Microphones wouldn't work very well in the thermosphere ;)

EDIT: Corrected for type of antenna thanks to DaveS, I was mistaken about the S-band.

It's what got mistaken as a UFO by social media the other year during a night pass where it looked "off station" ;D

Actually, that's two UHF antennas on the FWD end of the US Lab. SASA's are smaller.
