Fix the Array
You will need to replace three damaged dishes from the inner part of the array (marked red) with three from the outer array (marked light blue. The schematics on the wall should provide you with assistance. No gravity in the room should help you move about more swiftly. Stay alert as there will be some necromorphs interrupting the repairs.

Contact the military ship(2)
Return to the communication room and activate the console.
Use the ADS cannon to clear the blast doors
Take the lift to the lower level. In the room behind the large door you will find a Save station and an Upgrade Bench. Right behind the door there's also an elevator. In the room with the cannon entrance you will find a crate and two containers. Enter the cannon through the round hatch.
There's a Save station here, as well as a locker with a Power node inside. Sit comfortably behind the gun controls and try to take down the monster by attacking the yellow bumps on its body and destroying the exploding objects it hurls our way. The hull integrity can be seen on the right hand side of the cannon and we cannot allow it to drop to 0. After dealing with the monster, a cut-scene will begin.
Go to the cargo deck
Return to the Atrium and from there to the tram. The road back shouldn't be much of a challenge except for the thin necromorph in the atrium. You can deal with it or just slow it down and ignore it - it doesn't drop anything of value. The tram will take you to the next chapter.
