Record response to call for new astronauts
HOUSTON, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Astronauts aboard the International Space Station Saturday moved cargo from the shuttle Atlantis after a false alarm delayed a spacewalk, NASA said.
False alarms Thursday and Friday in a depressurization program may have been linked to a Russian docking module that arrived at the station Nov. 12, NASA officials said Saturday.
Friday's false alarm delayed the second of three spacewalks in Atlantis's 11-day mission by more than an hour Saturday.
Once the alarm was cleared, shuttle astronauts Leland Melvin and Robert Satcher used the station's robotic arm to move spare equipment from the shuttle's payload bay to the station.
Mission Specialists Mike Foreman and Randy Bresnik also stepped into space Saturday to install communications antennas, NASA said.
