Feb. 28, 2011 -- NASA astronauts Steve Bowen (foreground) and Alvin
Drew, both STS-133 mission specialists, participate in the mission's
first session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as construction and
maintenance continue on the International Space Station. During the
six-hour, 34-minute spacewalk, Bowen and Drew installed the J612 power
extension cable, move a failed ammonia pump module to the External
Stowage Platform 2 on the Quest Airlock for return to Earth at a later
date, installed a camera wedge on the right hand truss segment,
installed extensions to the mobile transporter rail and exposed the
Japanese "Message in a Bottle" experiment to space. (NASA photo)
