After the air was vented out of the Quest Airlock, Whitson gave Parazynski and Wheelock \u2013 who is making his debut EVA \u2013 the green light to get ready to egress into space. <\/p>\n \u2018Ok, time to let you go out and play,\u2019 said Whitson. Later to be followed by \u2018Sweet! You\u2019re not going to believe this,\u2019 as the spacewalkers opened up the hatch, to reveal Earth, 200 miles \u2018below\u2019 them.<\/p>\n The official start of EVA-1 was 5:02am Central Time, with Parazynski egressing first, out on to the awaiting Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS)<\/p>\n Earlier, robotic preparations took place on board ISS, ahead of the use of the Space Station\u2019s robotic arm (SSRMS), which then moved to grapple Node 2, before delivering it to a temporary spot on Node 1 \u2018Unity\u2019. <\/p>\n The module will eventually be moved to the PMA-2 (Pressurized Mating Adapter 2) after Discovery undocks. The official time of Node 2 joining the ISS was 10:30am Central Time.<\/p>\n Harmony is the first addition to the Station\u2019s pressurized volume since the arrival of the Russian Pirs docking compartment in 2001. The installation of Harmony paves the way for the addition of the European Columbus laboratory in December 2007, and the Japanese Kibo laboratory in April next year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Latest Issues \u2013 or lack thereof<\/u><\/em><\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018Team is looking at it, but don\u2019t think it\u2019s a concern,\u2019 noted the latest Shuttle Stand-up\/Integration report. \u2018Think is only a sticky breaker, but will keep a close watch on it. <\/font><\/p>\n <\/font> **STARLIGHT: NEW STS-117 MISSION REVIEW MUSIC VIDEO** \u2013 STS-118 Mission review video also available.<\/font><\/em><\/font> <\/em><\/font><\/p>\n **ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE: STS-117 MISSION REVIEW MUSIC VIDEO \u2013 AS SEEN BY THE STS-117 CREW!!**<\/font> -.

\nThe mission continues to be flawless for Discovery, as she heads through Flight Day 4. Listed as \u2018funnies\u2019 by the Mission Evaluation Room (MER) at the Johnson Space Center (JSC), only two notes of interest are being looked into.<\/font>
\n<\/font>
\n\u2018Have two funnies: 1<\/b>) When crew manipulated the MPM on AC3 mid-2 circuit breaker for OBSS (Orbiter Boom Sensor System) Ops, deploy was hard pulling out and hard receding. <\/p>\n
\n\u2018Secondly, Galley sensor rate was low on cold water side. Saw this on previous missions. Crew understands how to bias this for EVA drink bag fill and food re-hydration.\u2019<\/font><\/p>\n
