Two astronauts performed a spacewalk Saturday outside the International Space Station. Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover spent nearly seven hours outside the station performing a range of tasks, from rerouting cables to installing a metal ring on a thermal cover for the station's airlock. During work removing jumper cables that are part of the station's cooling system, more ammonia vented into space than expected, and astronauts took precautions to ensure their suits were not contaminated before returning inside the station.
