Discovery Crew Wraps Up Final ISS EVA
Houston TX (SPX) Apr 14, 2010
The third STS-131 spacewalk ended at 8:38 a.m. EDT, a six-hour, 24-minute outing for Mission Specialists Rick Mastracchio and Clayton Anderson. The spacewalkers fell behind the timeline when an alignment issue delayed the stowage of the depleted Ammonia Tank Assembly on a carrier in space shuttle Discovery's cargo bay.
