America ended the fourth walk in space

Astronauts at the ISS international space station have just completed the fourth planned out-of-space walk to end the remaining work from the previous walk. The astronauts Patrick Forrester and Steven Swanson have set up a rotatable connection to help the solar arm take light to transform into electricity supplied to the ISS.

Since the computer microprocessor system on ISS has been repaired, the commander here says that the international space station has returned to its normal operating state. The space walk of 6.5 hours on June 17 is the fourth walk since the space shuttle Atlantis entered the ISS international space station last week.

On Friday (June 15), the astronauts repaired the damaged insulation blankets at the time of the ship launch on June 8. Today, June 18, the underground flight control department plans to test new solar arms to verify the accuracy of taking sunlight.

Atlantis space shuttle is expected to leave the ISS station on June 19 to land in Florida state on Thursday 21.6. Despite the delay in the schedule of space flights this year, NASA shuttle program executives are confident to say they can complete the ISS missions before the " retirement " date. of shuttle spacecraft in 2010.

NASA is planning to carry out 15 more flights to ISS to transport large complexes, parts and other equipment. In addition, a final flight to the Hubble Space Telescope is being planned in September 2008.
