Astronaut Mike Fossum continues his duties during this the second of the STS-124 mission’s three scheduled spacewalks. During the seven-hour, 11-minute spacewalk, Fossum and fellow astronaut Ron Garan installed television cameras on the front and rear of the Kibo Japanese Pressurized Module (JPM) to assist Kibo robotic arm operations, removed thermal covers from the Kibo robotic arm, prepared an upper JPM docking port for flight day seven’s attachment of the Kibo logistics module.
They also readied a spare nitrogen tank assembly for its installation during the third spacewalk, retrieved a failed television camera from the Port 1 truss and inspected the port Solar Alpha Rotary Joint.Image Credit: NASA
