STS-92 Crew Activity Report/Flight Day 8 Highlights

On this eighth day of the STS-92 mission, the flight crew, Commander Brian Duffy, Pilot Pamela A. Melroy, and Mission Specialists Koichi Wakata, Leroy Chiao, Peter J.K. Wisoff, Michael E. Lopez-Alegria, and William S. McArthur prepare for the fourth and final spacewalk of the mission. Scenes are shown of Lopez-Alegria and Wisoff during their 6 hour 56 minute spacewalk against a backdrop of the Earth. Central America and Florida are easily seen and North Carolina can be identified through the clouds. Lopez-Alegria and Wisoff prepare a latch assembly that will later hold the solar array truss while Wakata operates the arm.
