US-SPACE-SHUTTLE-ISS
This February 12, 2010 NASA TV video grab shows two NASA astronauts during a mission to install a seven-windowed observation dome aboard the International Space Station. A giant robot arm hoisted the massive Tranquility node and the cupola, which will provide spectacular panoramic views of Earth and help crew members monitor space walks and docking operations, from the shuttle Endeavour's payload bay onto the ISS.The two spacewalkers then completed the first phase of work attaching the 2,600-cubic-foot (74-cubic-meter) addition to the orbiting space station, which was built for NASA by the European group Thales Alenia Space in their Turin factory. US astronaut Bob Behnken (upper L)and his British-born partner Nicholas Patrick (center R)completed the first spacewalk of the mission, a six-hour, 32-minute outer space task at 3:49 am (0849 GMT). "The spacewalking pair finished all their assigned work and some get-ahead tasks," the US space agency said in a statement. AFP PHOTO/NASA/HANDOUT/RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE
