When are the Astronauts set to take a spacewalk on Saturday?”
By MARCIA DUNN (AP) – 4 hours ago CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — It’s spacewalking day at the shuttle-station complex. At high noon Saturday, two astronauts will venture out to help attach a platform for science experiments. It’s the third and final piece of Japan’s huge billion-dollar lab. And it’s the first of five spacewalks planned for the shuttle flight. Endeavour arrived at the international space station Friday, boosting the population for now to a record 13. Before docking, the shuttle performed a backflip for space station cameras. NASA says the analysis is ongoing, but so far Endeavour looks to be in good shape for re-entry at the end of the month. An unusually large amount of foam broke off Endeavour’s fuel tank at liftoff, and some pieces dinged the shuttle. Copyright © 2009 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
