Astronauts Complete Space Station Maintenance Spacewalk

Clad in U.S. spacesuits, Expedition 41 Flight Engineers Reid Wiseman of NASA and Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency conducted a spacewalk outside the International Space Station Oct. 7 to relocate a failed cooling pump and to install a power cable device designed to provide backup electrical capability to the station’s rail car system.
The spacewalk was the 182nd in support of station assembly and maintenance and the first for both Wiseman and Gerst.
