Today (Wed) the second of 3 spacewalks took place. Astronauts Michael Goode and Steve Bowen operated outside for seven hours and nine minutes.

The two successfully tightened the straps connecting the antenna that allows two-way transmission of data and video to sow on which it is assembled and overcome the gap between the two. They also removed a barrier that held the dish antenna and arm together during launch and allowed the antenna to rotate.

Earlier, the crew members - the Space Shuttle Atlantis crew on mission STS-132, and the 23rd crew of the International Space Station focused on connecting the Russian Mini-Research Module-1 (MRM-1) component to the International Space Station. The laboratory, also known as Rasvet - Dawn in Russian, was attached to the earth-facing side of the Zarya laboratory.

Shuttle Commander Ken Hamm and pilot Tony Atonelli navigated the robotic arm to retrieve the component from Atlantis' cargo deck and transfer it to the station's arm.

Astronauts Garrett Reisman and Pierce Sellers who participated in the first spacewalk yesterday, were inside the station this time and they activated the station's robotic arm and with it placed the MRM-1 (Rasvet) in the designated place.

23rd Team Commander Oleg Kutov monitored the activity from Zarya as Rasvat performed the automatic docking procedure for final connection with the station.

  1. Anla shouts and gets stoned. I thought that's how they communicate with you. will type.

  2. what are you shouting poor man A little culture will be relaxed

  3. He's a recipe for the Levine, a piece of crap like this in outer space spinning round and round and round and round, allowing you to watch CNNNNNN.

  4. What do you mean, what will we look like from beyond the satellite? .

  5. There are indeed many objects in the orbit of the shuttle, which means that these are unidentifiable objects for those who do not know what a passage of a satellite looks like and there is no shortage of such.

  6. If you saw yesterday in full everything that NASA provided through its channel, then there were also surprises from afar. As above in STS 131 and more and more

    They no longer hide them like they used to and there are some new examples from yesterday and a month ago

    Enjoy and think a lot about it

    What fun to live this century.

    May his name be praised forever

    And by the way, today is also the last walk, it's a pleasure

    One minute and three seconds, watch and enjoy

    For those who want more, I would be happy to provide times in other films that are more original than Nasa to show that there is an incomprehensible truth here

  7. I bet most readers read it as Rasbat in this transliteration.
    I would write Rassvet if anything, or Rassvet.
