Columbia's six-member crew was awakened at 7:46 p.m. CST to begin flight
day 14 of the STS-87 mission and a busy day involving the second space
walk of this flight.
Takao Doi and Winston
Scott switched their suits to battery power at 3:09 a.m. Dec. 3 signalling
the start of their second spacewalk of this mission and completed the EVA
at 8:09 a.m. CST. The spacewalk lasted about 5 hours.
They first repeated some of the crane operations, handling the smaller of
the boxes that represent objects it will have to move during International
Space Station assembly. They then tested the AERCam/Sprint,
a free-flying video camera that is being developed as a tool for surveying
the outside of space structures such as the International
Space Station and as a second point of view during astronaut spacewalks.
Sprint was controlled by pilot
Steve Lindsey via a joystick on Columbia's aft flight deck.
Combined with the first spacewalk duration of 7 hours, 43 minutes, Doi
and Scott completed
12 hours and 43 minutes outside Columbia's crew cabin during the mission. |
