Atlantis astronauts already complete one task


Less than an hour into today's spacewalk, Atlantis astronauts already completed one task.

Mike Good and Garrett Reisman took about 15 minutes to install an ammonia cooling jumper line on the International Space Station.

The astronauts were able to complete the added on task since they were ahead of schedule. Today's spacewalk began about 20 minutes early.

The two men will now concentrate on the main task for the day, swapping out two batteries that have been in place for 10 years.

This is the fourth spacewalk for Good and the third for Reisman.
