Spacewalk No. 1 ends
BY WILLIAM HARWOOD
STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION
Posted: April 9, 2010
Astronauts Rick Mastracchio and Clay Anderson wrapped up a successful six-hour 27-minute spacewalk early Friday, repressurizing the space station's Quest airlock module at 7:58 a.m. EDT to bring the excursion to a close.
The astronauts released a 1,700-pound ammonia coolant tank in the shuttle
Discovery's cargo bay so it could be moved to the space station and installed a rate
gyro assembly, a device that helps determine the lab's orientation in space. They
also carried out a variety of get-ahead tasks to save time for future spacewalkers.
There were no significant problems and the astronauts accomplished all of their major objectives.
This was the 141st spacewalk devoted to station assembly and maintenance since
construction began in 1998, the fifth so far this year and the first of three
planned by Discovery's crew. Total station EVA time now stands at 879 hours and 43
minutes.
