Mikhail Tyurin reports that he could feel cooling while in the airlock, but now that he is outside the temperature control is set to "6" and he can barely feel it. The normal setting is "3". Mission controllers won't get any more telemetry for an hour. Michael Lopez-Alegria operated controls on Tyurin's suit, rebooting the sublimator several times, "snow" is still coming out. It seems that Mikhail's sublimator is working somewhat but not very efficiently. They are in eclipse now so it doesn't matter very much but the spacewalk may be cut short if Mikhail gets hot.<br /><br />The spacewalkers are changing out the collecting element, a casette, of a device on the ISS which monitors contamination while making their way toward the stuck antenna on the Progress Module. The old casette has been removed and the container sealed. <br /><br />Edit: I must have been pretty sleepy--yesterday's date was in subject line <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
