Expedition 10 Readies for First Spacewalk
Expedition 10 Readies for First Spacewalk
Spacewalk preparations continued to command the attention of the Expedition 10 crew on Thursday aboard the International Space Station. Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov's 5.5-hour excursion is scheduled for Jan. 26, beginning about 1:25 a.m. CST (0725 GMT). It has been extended by one hour to give the spacewalkers time to photograph some external elements of the Station. This will be the first of two spacewalks scheduled for Expedition 10. Thursday's preparations included activation and inspection of the Russian Orlan spacesuits they will use. Chiao and Sharipov also charged a second set of Orlan batteries, installed helmet lights and tested pressure equalization valve components between the Zvezda Service Module and the Pirs Docking Compartment. The spacewalk will be based out of Pirs. -- -------------- Jacques :-) www.spacepatches.info |
