NASA Television will provide coverage of the third and
final spacewalk for the Expedition Three crew aboard the
International Space Station on Monday, Nov. 12, beginning at
3:30 p.m. EST.

Commander Frank Culbertson and Pilot Vladimir Dezhurov will
exit the Pirs Docking Compartment around 4 p.m. EST for a
spacewalk expected to last up to six hours. Flight Engineer
Mikhail Tyurin will operate the Canadarm2 robotic arm from
inside the station and act as spacewalk choreographer.

During their spacewalk, Culbertson and Dezhurov will complete
the external outfitting of the Pirs by attaching navigational
system cables and foot restraints. They also will survey one
solar array panel on the Zvezda Service Module, which failed
to deploy properly following its launch in July 2000.

NASA Television is available on GE-2, Transponder 9C at 85
degrees West longitude, vertical polarization, with a
frequency of 3880 MHz, and audio of 6.8 MHz.
