Spacewalkers Scott Parazynski and Douglas Wheelock are heading back to the U.S. Quest airlock after successfully pulling off daring repairs on a high-voltage solar wing at the International Space Station.
The joined crews of shuttle Discovery and the station, along with flight directors at the Mission Control Center, all are ecstatic about the success. But the job isn't done yet.
"Before we do the victory dance, let's get Scott back to structure and then we can rejoice," said shuttle skipper Pam Melroy.
The astronauts are approaching the linked shuttle and station from the far left end of the outpost's central truss -- a 168 foot traverse.
