Continued from page 7A
By rerouting power, data and video
cables, the spacewalkers paved the way
for the 58-foot robot arm, designed to
move like an inchworm, to step onto the
railcar and be transported along the
track. But first, a base for the arm must
be installed on the car during the next
shuttle flight in June.
The ambidextrous arm, which has a
hand on each end, is needed to assem
ble space station Alpha as it continues
to grow.
Over the next few years, eight more
girders with more track will be attached
to the segment delivered last week by
Atlantis. The framework ultimately will
extend 356 feet and support four sets of
solar wings as well as radiators and sci
ence experiments.
On Sunday, Smith and Walheim
released launch-restraint bolts on the
railcar in preparation for Monday’s
trial run and admired the view 240
miles below.
“Beautiful place we live,” Smith
observed.
A fourth and final spacewalk is
scheduled for Tuesday to wrap up the
girder work. Atlantis will undock from
the space station on Wednesday.
Extinct bird species recovery
LOS PADRES NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. (AP) —
Biologists celebrated a milestone in the recovery ot the
once nearly extinct California condor, the survival of a
chick conceived and hatched in the wild.
The chick in Los Padres National Forest in Santa
Barbara County is the first conceived, hatched and raised in
the wild to survive more than a day. It was 4 days old on
Monday.
“The parents are feeding it, and it seems to be doing
really well,” said Bronwyn Davey, spokesperson for the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Biologists had tried to remove the egg from the nest last
month out of concern that the parents were not read\
for it. But the father protected the egg so aggressiit
the plan was scrapped. Davey said.
The birds, the largest in North America, nearh;
peared in the 1980s. Captive breeding program*
helped its numbers rebound to 188, and about60(4
birds are in the wild in Southern California and nor"
Arizona.
Three other condor eggs have been laid in the wild
never hatched and the chick from the third egg was
right after hatching last year by the same female moik
the latest chick.
