Posted: Fri, Feb 5, 2021, 6:26 PM ET (2326 GMT)
Astronauts sped through their tasks outside the space station during a spacewalk Monday. Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover completed the installation of a new battery for the station's power system, replaced several video cameras and made preparations for future installation of new solar panels during the spacewalk. The two astronauts worked well ahead of schedule, allowing them to also perform some additional "get-ahead" tasks. The two wrapped up the spacewalk in 5 hours and 20 minutes, more than an hour shorter than planned.
