American and Japanese astronauts breezed through a spacewalk Feb. 16 to complete work on the station's robotic arm. Mark Vande Hei and Norishige Kanai spent nearly six hours outside the station, quickly completing their primary tasks of moving two robotic hands that had been replaced on previous spacewalks. The two also took care of several "get ahead" tasks on the station during the spacewalk.
