Riding the space station robot arm and holding the nitrogen tank assembly, Rex Walheim has arrived at the temporary storage position for the tank.
Spacewalker Hans Schlegel climbed from the shuttle payload bay and will help Walheim swap the full tank for an empty tank, which will be stowed in the shuttle's payload bay and returned to Earth.
