     US astronauts were successful Saturday in repairing a torn solar panel during an unprecedented, risky space walk to try to ensure an adequate power supply at the International Space Station, NASA said.

    "Beautiful," said astronaut Scott Parazynsky as he wrapped up more than fours hours of work on the solar array panels.

    "Nice teamwork ... excellent work guys," said one of the controllers at Houston, Texas Mission Control.
