CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Atlantis' astronauts are taking another spacewalk outside the International Space Station.
One of the spacewalkers, Randolph Bresnik, is still awaiting word on the birth of his daughter. His wife, Rebecca, was due to give birth Friday. NASA officials say if the baby is born during Saturday's spacewalk, they may wait to pass along the news. They want Bresnik focused on his job.
It's the first spacewalk of Bresnik's career. He ventured out Saturday morning with veteran Michael Foreman. The two will perform some space station chores.
The spacewalk was delayed more than an hour by false decompression alarms that rang through the orbiting complex Friday, for the second night in a row. The alarms disrupted spacewalk preparations.
