In the next 50 years, NASA plans to send astronauts to the Moon and Mars. These astronauts must follow a strenuous exercise program in-flight to prevent the health effects of space flight. These effects include decrease in bone and muscle mass, strength, sensory-motor function (i.e. balance), and the ability to perform aerobic exercise. |

During the 6 hour, 33 minute spacewalk, Tani and astronaut Scott Parazynski, STS-120 mission specialist, worked in tandem to disconnect cables from the P6 truss, allowing it to be removed from the Z1 truss. Tani also visually inspected the station's starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joint and gathered samples of "shavings" he found under the joint's multilayer insulation covers. The spacewalkers also outfitted the Harmony module, mated the power and data grapple fixture, and reconfigured connectors on the S1 truss that will allow the radiator on S1 to be deployed from the ground later. |
