This is making out pretty Slick said Spring. This is pretty earlier he noted this is amazing absolutely these gloves really have a Good grip said Ross. It works you Guys arc doing great said Mission control. After building the beam once the Astro nauts immediately began taking it apart and reported that disassembly went even faster. In 85 minutes they completed one entire Cycle of construction and disassembly and started on the Pyramid. Television views showed Ross standing on one Side of a platform with a rack of struts and Spring at the other Side with another rack. Spring would snap yellow coated struts into place building one Side of a segment or Bay and Ross then would rotate the platform and secure other struts. When the Bay was completed they Slid it upward and started building Mother Seg ment attached to the first. The completed beam had u1 Bays and Spring told Mission control Tor your in formation the first Bay took two minutes,30 later the aeronaut got even faster. Eventually the beam reached the height of a four Story building. Each of the Bays had nine struts which Are one Inch diameter tubular bars six feet Long. Both ends of each strut had sockets and Spring powered sleeves. The sockets mated to each other to form rigid joints. No .4fljjls were needed. 1 several times the astronauts paused to look at the Earth below and one noted i Ash huh that s we envy you your View said Mission control. What Are you smiling about. Woody Cross said kidding Spring about their exl tile men at walking in space. As the spacecraft passed Over West Afri Ca Spring noted there Are fires Down there. Lots of experts Hope that the spacewalk and a similar one planned for sunday will Demon Strate the ability of astronauts to join laboratories living quarters and Power modules to create space stations and even comm of Lilly in orbit. I we can carry the modules for a space elation into orbit but we be got to knowhow to build beams that will hold them All Wicther said Ross before the flight hat s Why we re doing this spacewalk f Buring the spacewalk the astronaut is Emblem the Pyramid with their feet anchored and while floating free arid detached the beam and the Pyramid and moved them about while standing on the end of Atlantis robot Arm. This was to test How Well such Large structures can be mane Vered by hand in the weightlessness of orbit. Four television cameras recorded the astronauts every move so the images can be reduced by computer for a Lime and motion study. Engineers Hope to use this study to help them design space structures and the equipment and techniques needed for their Assembly by astronauts. The National aeronautics and space administration plans to build a space Sta Tion in orbit during the 1990s, creating a Village that could be permanently occupied by rotating Crews of astronauts scientist Sand perhaps even tourists.
