Astronauts help move stalled rail vehicle during spacewalk

Flight engineer Tim Peake of the European Space Agency is joined by Expedition 46 Commander Scott Kelly and flight engineer Tim Kopra, both of NASA, in giving their thoughts on being in space during the holidays. The duo clambered out of the station’s Quest airlock and made their way to a Mobile Transporter cart that had inexplicably jammed on rails running along the station’s exterior truss.

A particular player who is constantly in the shadow of Curry is the other half of the Splash Brothers duo: Klay Thompson. Festus Ezeli’s free throws with 9.5 seconds remaining put the Warriors up 121-112, which ended up being the final score.

Kelly and Kopra fixed the stuck rail vehicle in 15 minutes, leaving them time to tackle work to prepare the station for new modules, said mission commentator Rob Navias from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The astronauts plan to move the rail auto a few inches and latch it in place, so it will not interfere with the arrival of the Russian Progress supply ship on Wednesday. The ISS Progress 62 resupply mission launched at 3:44 a.m. EST this morning (2:44 p.m. Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. About four hours after launch, Kelly and Kopra started their spacewalk.

This was the 191st spacewalk since station assembly began in 1998, the seventh so far this year, the third for Kelly and the second for Kopra, who arrived at the station last week aboard the Soyuz TMA-19M ferry craft. Kopra was making his second trip outside the station. Repressurization began at 11:01 a.m., bringing NASA EVA-34 to an end at the three-hour 16-minute mark.

Most spacewalks are planned months in advance, but this one was arranged on Friday.
