Astronauts begin space-walk
A US astronaut and his Russian crewmate ventured outside the international space station today for a strenuous six-hour spacewalk intended to fix a faulty antenna.
The main mission of Michael Lopez-Alegria and Mikhail Tyurin was to fold an antenna on a Russian Progress cargo ship that could be an obstacle when the vessel needs to be undocked to make room for a new space ferry, said Russian Mission Control spokesman Valery Lyndin.
