An American
astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut have installed a radio antenna
on the International Space Station.
The pair also
moved a construction crane during their spacewalk.
It was the first
spacewalk for Carl Walz and Yuri Onufrienko since they moved into
the space station last month.
Walz was the
first one out, exiting 250 miles above the Pacific.
The spacewalkers
complained of a continual high-pitched beeping as they floated outside.
Russian engineers
were not immediately certain what was causing the noise in the spacesuits.
The spacewalkers'
main task was to move a Russian-built crane from its temporary berth
on the US side of the orbiting outpost to a permanent location on
the Russian side.
They also installed
the first of four ham radio antennas on the living quarters of the
space station.
