--- Astronaut Scott Parazynski,
STS-120 mission specialist,
participates in the second of
five scheduled sessions of
extravehicular activity (EVA) as
construction continues on the
International Space Station.
During the 6-hour, 33-minute
spacewalk Parazynski and
astronaut Daniel Tani (out of
frame), Expedition 16 flight
engineer, worked in tandem to
disconnect cables from the P6
truss, allowing it to be removed
from the Z1 truss. Tani also
visually inspected the station's
starboard Solar Alpha Rotary
Joint (SARJ) and gathered
samples of "shavings" he found
under the joint's multi-layer
insulation covers. Also the
spacewalkers outfitted the
Harmony module, mated the power
and data grapple fixture and
reconfigured connectors on the
starboard 1 (S1) truss that will
allow the radiator on S1 to be
deployed from the ground later. |
