HOUSTON Two astronauts on Tuesday hooked up the latest part of the International Space Station: a 35,000- pound truss with a solar array that would give additional power to the station.
The two astronauts - Joseph Tanner, a former U.S. Navy pilot and a veteran of three previous space flights and also five spacewalks, and Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, a navy commander on her first space flight - ventured out into space and scrambled over the course construction project. They returned to the space station's Quest airlock a little more than the six and one-half hours later.
