6 hours, 37 minutes |
| Installed a spare antenna on the station’s truss and a bracket for ammonia lines on the Unity module. They also lubricated the grapple mechanism on the Payload Orbital Replacement Unit Attachment Device on the Mobile Base System and lubricated the snares of the hand of the station's Japanese robotic arm. Deployed the S3 outboard Payload Attachment System. | ||||
| EVA 2 | Michael Foreman Randolph Bresnik |
November 21, 2009 14:31 UTC |
November 21, 2009 20:39 UTC |
6 hours, 8 minutes |
| Installed the GATOR (Grappling Adaptor to On-Orbit Railing) bracket to the Columbus laboratory and an additional ham radio antenna. They also installed on the truss an antenna for wireless helmet camera video. They also relocated the Floating Potential Measurement Unit that records electrical potential around the station as it orbits the Earth and deployed two brackets to attach cargo on the truss. | ||||
| EVA 3 | Robert Satcher Randolph Bresnik |
November 23, 2009 13:24 UTC |
November 23, 2009 19:06 UTC |
5 hours, 42 minutes |
| Satcher installed an oxygen filled new High Pressure Gas Tank (HPGT) on the Quest airlock. Bresnik got the next set of “Materials on International Space Station Experiment,” known as MISSE-7A and 7B, out from Atlantis' cargo bay and installed on ELC-2, activated and checked out. The spacewalkers removed a pair of micrometeoroid and orbital debris (MMOD) shields from outside the airlock and strapped them to the External Stowage Platform #2. Bresnik relocated a foot restraint. Satcher released a bolt on an Ammonia Tank Assembly in preparation of a future spacewalk during STS-131, and installed insulated covers on cameras on the mobile servicing system and on Canadarm2's end effector. They worked the heater cables on a docking adapter in advance of the Tranquility module installation on Unity’s port side. | ||||
