Spacewalkers Install Fourth Battery

STS-132 spacewalkers Steve Bowen and Michael Good installed a fourth battery, battery D, at 11:52 a.m. EDT, on one of the International Space Station’s four solar arrays.

The spacewalkers are about 5 hours and 20 minutes into today’s planned 6.5-hour excursion. The crew is proceeding with clean-up procedures before they return to the Quest airlock.

After additional tests of the pan and tilt on the camera at the end of the Orbiter Boom Sensor System, it has been declared fully operational and control has been handed back to space shuttle Atlantis’ crew.
