Spacewalkers Extend Station’s Mobile Transporter Track

Spacewalkers Steve Bowen and Alvin Drew added two extensions to the station’s mobile transporter track, which will allow the transporter to travel the entire track length with the Crew Equipment Translation Aid cart and reach all of the worksites. They also opened and filled a metal cylinder with the vacuum of space, part of a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency activity called “Message in a Bottle.” The bottle will be returned to Earth for public display.
