They installed a power extension cable between
the Unity and Tranquility nodes to provide a contingency power source should it
be required. The spacewalkers moved the failed ammonia pump module that was
replaced in August 2010 from an attachment bracket to a stowage platform
adjacent to the Quest airlock. Drew and Bowen installed a piece of hardware
that will go under a camera on the truss. The hardware will tilt the camera to
provide clearance for a spare part to be installed on a future mission. They
next replaced a guide for the rail cart system used for moving cargo along the
truss. The guides were removed when the astronauts were performing work on the
station's starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joint, which rotates the solar arrays to
track the sun. |

The astronauts removed thermal insulation from a
platform, while Bowen swaped out an attachment bracket on the Columbus module.
Bowen then installed a camera assembly on the Dextre robot then removed
insulation from Dextre's electronics platform. Drew installed a light on a
cargo cart and repair some dislodged thermal insulation from a valve on the
truss then remove other insulation from Tranquility. The final task was be to
"fill" a special bottle with space for a Japanese education payload. The bottle
will be part of a museum exhibit for public viewing. |
