Astronauts Danny Olivas, above, and Christer Fuglesang outside the International Space Station during a spacewalk of the STS-128 mission. The two spent the evening putting up new antennas and laying 60 feet (18.3meters) of cable for a future space station chamber. They also will pull out a shelf for storing big spare parts and replace some old electronic devices.
