This is the 85th spacewalk devoted to station construction and maintenance since assembly began in 1998 and the second of four planned by the Atlantis astronauts. Going into today’s EVA, 47 NASA astronauts, 15 Russians, two Canadians and four fliers from Japan, Germany, France and Sweden had logged 515 hours and 20 minutes of spacewalk time building the international outpost.


The Chinese EVA scheduled for next year has been delayed. This is not easy and the 500 hours of EVA work is a huge mass of learning.
