Discovery astronauts will perform the second spacewalk of the flight this afternoon, as mission specialists Steve Swanson and Joe Acaba venture out to perform a few housekeeping chores.
ExtraVehicular Activity [NASA speak for spacewalk] #2 is scheduled to begin at 12:43 pm EDT, and conclude about 6 1/2-hours later. You can watch LIVE coverage of EVA #2 on SpaceLaunch News.
Discovery's crew were awoken a few minutes late - at 7:47 am EDT - to the music In a Little While by the group Pilgrim & Trout, as the brightest star in earth's nighttime sky flew over northeastern China and into an Orbital Sunset.
"Good morning Houston. And thanks [to his family] for the song and were ready for another great day in orbit," stated mission specialist Ricky Arnold.
