CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) - Astronauts from the visiting space shuttle Atlantis floated out of an airlock on the International Space Station on Wednesday for another spacewalk on a mission overshadowed by damage to the shuttle's thermal blanket.
Aiming to boost the outpost's power supplies, Patrick Forrester and Steven Swanson began the second spacewalk of Atlantis' expanded nine-day stay at the orbital outpost shortly after 2:30 p.m. EDT (1830 GMT).
