Astronauts cut coolant lines on 2nd spacewalk to repair cosmic ray detector [i]Two astronauts have completed "surgery" outside of the International Space Station, slicing small metal tubes as part of the efforts to repair a state-of-the-art cosmic ray detector. Expedition 61 crewmates Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Drew Morgan with NASA ventured outside of the space station on Friday (Nov. 22) for a 6 hour and 33 minute extravehicular activity (EVA, or spacewalk). The excursion continued the work they began one week ago to replace the failing cooling system for the $2 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS).[/i]
