(AP) — Two spacewalking astronauts left the safety of space shuttle Colum bia Monday in a bold attempt to grab a slowly spinning satellite with their gloved hands. NASA astronaut Winston Scott and Japanese astronaut Takao Doi floated out the hatch as the shuttle closed in on the out-of-control satellite 175 miles above Earth. For the six crew members, there was more at stake than the $10 million reusable Spartan sci ence satellite. It was a matter of pride — they accidentally sent the satellite into a slow tumble mo ments after releasing it on Friday, and wanted nothing more than to set things right. The astronauts were relieved to find the Spartan satellite in fair ly stable condition. Commander Kevin Kregel reported a slight but clearly noticeable rotation as he steered Columbia in for the catch. NASA said the main concern was a collision between the satellite and either the shuttle or a spacewalker, but that the risk was extremely low. The satellite had been released from the shuttle to spend two days studying the sun. But for reasons that are still unclear, it malfunc tioned within moments. And when Columbia’s crew tried to retrieve it with the shuttle robot arm, it start ed tumbling too quickly to be grabbed safely, and the ship backed away. After three days of ans separation, Columbiavm at Spartan’s side a little ove hour into the spacewalk, then, Scott and Doi hadpi tioned themselves on oppn ends of a platform spanninf cargo bay, their feet secure: restraints and their bodiesk ing back to avoid beingstr. by the 3,000-pound satelliii Kregel slowly flew Colim up to Spartan as both space zoomed around Earth at 17, mph, and positioned theshu in such a way that the satellite between the spacewalkers, A few minutes later, Scoti ported: “This position is petit The telescope is right between More than a half-hour la Scott and Doi still were wait for the satellite to roll intoi proper position.
