Cape Canaveral, Florida : As their flight hit the halfway mark, shuttle Discovery’s astronauts faced more work with the space station’s new science lab on Saturday.
All 10 occupants of the linked shuttle and station chipped in Friday to get Japan’s billion-dollar Kibo lab up and running, and to expand its size by attaching an attic to it.
On Saturday _ one week into their mission _ the astronauts planned to test drive the lab’s 33-foot (10-meter) robot arm, the Associated Press reported.
