Astronauts suco
in satellite rescue
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (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
