During the second spacewalk of the STS-131 mission, NASA astronauts
Rick Mastracchio and Clayton Anderson (out of frame) unhooked and
removed the depleted ammonia tank and installed a 1,700-pound
replacement on the station’s Starboard 1 truss. This was the second of
three spacewalks in the
coolant tank replacement process. Image Credit: NASA
