[b]Spacewalkers work to verify repairs on AMS[/b] Expedition 61 crewmates Drew Morgan and Luca Parmitano returned to working outside of the International Space Station on Saturday (Jan. 25) to verify the replacement cooling system they earlier installed for the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), a cosmic ray detector. The spacewalk, which began at 7:04 a.m. EST (1205 GMT), is focused on conducting leak checks for the spectrometer's refurbished carbon dioxide coolant lines. Morgan is designated extravehicular crewmember 1 (EV 1), wearing the suit with red stripes. Parmitano is designated extravehicular crew member 2 (EV 2), wearing the suit with no stripes.
