SPACE-ISS-SPACEWALK
This April 23, 2014 NASA TV image shows International Space Station(ISS) astronaut Koichi Wakata(Top) of Japan assisting fellow astronauts Steve Swanson(L) and Rick Mastracchio both of the US back into the ISS following a spacewalk to install a backup computer that failed earlier this month. The computer they will remove and replace is known as a multiplexer/demultiplexer (MDM), one of 45 aboard the orbiting laboratory. The 10-year-old MDM failed after a routine restart operation on April 11. NASA said the broken model provides commands to certain space station systems, including the external cooling system, solar alpha rotary joints and mobile transporter rail car.
