Cosmonauts throw out the rubbish as they upgrade International Space Station

Spacewalking Russian cosmonauts have removed an old electronics box as part of an antenna upgrade at the International Space Station and then threw it overboard as a piece of junk.

Commander Alexander Misurkin used both gloved hands to shove the bundle away from the Russian side of the orbiting complex. The unit, bearing white insulation, with straps dangling, tumbled harmlessly away, high above the North Atlantic.
