Station commander Scott Kelly and newly arrived flight engineer Timothy Kopra were due to spend about 3.5 hours on an abbreviated spacewalk to latch the stalled vehicle into a parking spot along the station’s exterior truss.
After engineers on the ground confirmed the rail vehicle was latched in place, Hopkins told the spacewalkers, “It’s in a good config”. Kelly and Kopra were approved to complete the additional task during the EVA.
If the brake was somehow inadvertently engaged, it may be an easy task to unstick it. The astronauts may then turn to a few other get-ahead tasks as part of their ongoing maintenance and upgrades of the ISS.
“This is a team effort”, Kelly said.
Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko are on a year-long mission, which is set to end in March.
