A pair of spacewalking astronauts, one of them a surgeon, hustled through antenna and cable work outside the International Space Station and even managed to do an extra chore. Atlantis crewmen Michael Foreman and Dr Robert Satcher Jr had a spare antenna installed in just two hours after venturing out on the first spacewalk of their mission. They also hooked up cables and a handrail, and greased some mechanisms, zooming two hours ahead at one point.
Atlantis arrived at the International Space Station on Wednesday.
