ISS Space Walk
Thursdays ISS expedition-14 spacewalk (Mike Lopez-Alegria and Suni
Williams) will give mission commander Michael Lopez-Alegria the second most spacewalk time for an American astronaut, and will be the third of four space walks in about a three week time frame. tom http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/st...ain/index.html "Revved Up for Another Spacewalk Commander Mike Lopez-Alegria and Flight Engineer Suni Williams continue to prepare for Thursday's excursion outside the International Space Station. Using instructional aids, Lopez-Alegria and Williams configured the required tools and gear, reviewed the updated spacewalk procedures and held a space-to-ground conference with Houston specialists to discuss details worked out in Mission Control. On Tuesday, Williams began spacesuit battery charging in the U.S. airlock, while Lopez-Alegria charged the digital camera system battery. Pre-spacewalk medical checkups are also performed. The spacewalk will begin around 9 a.m. EST and last an estimated 6 hours, 30 minutes. By the end of the spacewalk Lopez-Alegria will be in second place for the most spacewalk time by an American astronaut." http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/st...xp14_evas.html "Station Crew to Conduct Three Back-to-Back Spacewalks 02.04.07 The third spacewalk in nine days by International Space Station Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria and Flight Engineer Sunita Williams is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 8. The three spacewalks, from the Quest airlock in U.S. spacesuits, and a Russian spacewalk scheduled for Feb. 22 will be the most ever done by station crew members during an increment, said Mike Suffredini, station program manager. The three spacewalks are termed EVAs 6, 7, and 8 because there were five previous station spacewalks from the U.S. airlock Quest during increments, times when no shuttle was present." |
