Astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Thomas Pesquet put on their self-contained spacesuits and headed outside the International Space Station on Friday for a six-and-a-half hour excursion to prepare for the relocation of a docking adapter, service the lab’s Dextre robot, and install a new computer relay box.
The spacewalkers switched their suits to internal battery power at 7:24 a.m. EDT (1124 GMT), marking the official start of the EVA. They exited the station’s Quest airlock a few minutes later. spaceflightnow.com
