NASA. Extravehicular activity in Earth orbit. Astronaut Rand - Lot 229

NASA. Extravehicular activity in Earth orbit. Astronaut Randy Bresnik (near the Columbus laboratory), STS-129 Mission Specialist, participates in the mission's second extravehicular activity (EVA) session as construction and maintenance continue on the International Space Station. During the six-hour, eight-minute EVA, Bresnik and Mission Specialist Mike Foreman (out of frame) installed a grapple adapter to the orbiting rail assembly, or GATOR, on the Columbus laboratory. The GATOR contains an antenna system for ship tracking and a HAM radio antenna. They moved a floating potential measurement unit that measures electrical charges building up on the station, deployed a payload attachment system on the space side of the starboard truss segment 3, and installed a wireless video system that allows astronauts to transmit video images to the station and relay them back to Earth.
