Crew Preparing for Third and Final Spacewalk

At 1:50 a.m. EDT, Atlantis’ crew woke to “Traveling Light,” by JJ Cale, played for Mission Specialist Piers Sellers.

Today astronauts Michael Good and Garrett Reisman will conduct the third and final spacewalk of the mission. The crew is expected to begin the spacewalk at 6:45 a.m.

The spacewalkers will replace the final two batteries on the Port 6 truss. They also will install an ammonia jumper on the Port 4/Port 5 truss and retrieve a power and data grapple fixture from the shuttle’s payload bay. The grapple fixture will be installed later on the Zarya module.
