Astronauts Set Out on Spacewalk

Jun 18, 04:38 PM

Current Headlines: TWO US astronauts stepped out of the international space station on the fourth spacewalk of space shuttle Atlantis's mission to the outpost.

The top priority for the spacewalkers, Patrick Forrester and Steven Swanson, yesterday was to allow a new solar array to track the sun and help generate power for the space station. The spacewalk began as critical Russian computers which failed last week continued their recovery to normal operations.
