Spacewalking Work Resumes Outside International Space Station

Spacewalking work is resuming outside the International Space Station after a computer crash temporarily stalled operations.

Coming up next: the transfer of a six-foot-wide antenna dish to a stowage spot on the station's Z1 truss.

Robot arm operator Piers Sellers regained video views of the work going on outside the outpost. Spacewalker Garrett Reisman is anchored to the end of the arm and will haul up the dish once it is unfastened from a shuttle-borne carrier pallet. Stephen Bowen will scale to the top of the truss to help Reisman put the dish in place.
