[b]Spacewalkers to relocate failed pump module[/b] During the first Expedition 41 spacewalk, scheduled to begin around 7:10 a.m. CDT (1210 GMT) on Tuesday (Oct. 7), NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman and European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst will exit out the Quest airlock for a six-and-a-half hour excursion to transfer a degraded pump module to its long-term home on the External Stowage Platform-2. The two spacewalkers will also install the Mobile Transporter Relay Assembly (MTRA) that provides backup power options to the Mobile Transporter railcar system, which moves the Canadarm2 and Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator to worksites along the station's truss.
