This is making out pretty Slick said Spring. This is or cloy earlier he noted this is amazing absolutely after building the beam once the Astro nauts immediately began taking it apart and they 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 shewed 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 another Seg ment attached to the first. The completed beam had 10 Bays and Spring told Mission control for your in formation the first Bay took two minutes 30 later the astronauts got even faster. Eventually the beam reached the height of a four Story building. Each of the Bays Haci nine struts which Are 1-Inch diameter tubular bars 6 feet Long. Both ends of each strut had sockets and Spring powered sleeves. The sockets mated to each other to form rigid joints. No tools were needed. As the spacecraft passed Over Western Africa Spring noted tit arc Are fires Down there. Lots of experts Hope that the spacewalk and a similar one later will demonstrate the ability of astronauts to join laboratories living quarters and Power modules to create space stations and even communities in orbit. During the spacewalk the astronauts assembled the Pyramid with their feet anchored and while they were floating free and detached the beam and the Pyramid and moved them about while standing on the end of at lantis 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 time 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 scientists and perhaps even tourists.
