The first of two solar wings on the International Space Station's P6 truss now is fully deployed. The deployment of the second wing will be coming up within the next hour.
Spacewalkers Scott Parazynski and Douglas Wheelock are in the U.S. Quest airlock, wrapping up the third of five spacewalks planned during Discovery's stay at the station.
