Spacewalkers Give World An Up-Close View Of Handiwork

Spacewalkers Garrett Reisman and Stephen Bowen are giving crewmates and flight controllers up close views of their handiwork with a wireless helmet camera system that beams live video during their excursion outside the International Space Station.

Note the faint No. 19 in the lower right corner of the view above. The number shows that the view is coming from the helmet camera of Reisman. A faint No. 20 indicates the views are coming from Bowen's helmet-cam.

The camera views are coming in real handy right now. The astronauts are having some difficulty attempting to fasten an electrical connector on a spare communications antenna that they stowed outside the station. They've seen some metal shavings on the end of the connector and are discussing the matter with crewmates and flight controllers.
