CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The German astronaut who was too sick to perform a spacewalk refused to say what ailed him but insisted he’s feeling great — albeit a little anxious — for today’s outing.
Hans Schlegel will float outside the linked space shuttle Atlantis and international space station to install a new nitrogen tank.
Schlegel and the nine other space travelers spent Tuesday opening up the Columbus lab and getting its equipment running. Atlantis delivered the $2 billion science lab, and the two crews attached it to the space station Monday.
