STS-127 Flight Day 8 Highlights (1/4)

July 23, 2009
On Flight Day 8 of Endeavour's STS-127 mission to the International Space Station, astronauts Dave Wolf and Chris Cassidy have conducted the third spacewalk of the mission. On the spacewalk, Dave and Chris have prepared the 3 Japanese payloads on the Kibo Exposed Section for tomorrow's transfer to the Exposed Facility. They have also installed 2 new batteries on the station's P6 truss and removed 3 old batteries. They were scheduled to install 4 batteries, but due to high CO2 readings in Cassidy's spacesuit, the spacewalk has ended before the battery installation was completed.
