CBSN
Spacewalkers Thomas Pesquet and Shane Kimbrough floated back outside the International Space Station Sunday for a second attempt to deploy a balky roll-out solar array. A third excursion is on tap Friday to attach and unfurl a second blanket.
Floating in the Quest airlock, Pesquet, call sign EV-1, and Kimbrough, EV-2, switched their spacesuits to battery power at 7:42 a.m. EDT to officially begin the year's eighth spacewalk, the 240th devoted to station assembly and maintenance since construction began in 1998. For identification, Pesquet, a European Space Agency astronaut, is wearing a suit with red stripes and using helmet camera 20. Kimbrough is using an unmarked suit with helmet camera 22. Both astronauts also are equipped with high-definition cameras.
