ISS045E050652 (10/07/2015) --- US astronauts Scott Kelly (bottom)and Kjell Lindgren (top) are counting down to a pair of spacewalks, now targeted for Oct. 28 and Nov. 6. The duo serviced their spacesuits replacing lithium batteries, checking their gloves and verifying power to video cameras. On the first spacewalk, the spacewalkers will lubricate the tip of the robotic arm Canadarm2, route power cables and place a thermal shroud over the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. During the second spacewalk, Kelly and Lindgren will refill coolant reservoirs and configure the port truss cooling system back to its original configuration after repair work completed back in 2012.
