Crew Activity Report for STS-97 Flight Day 6. This video provides information related to the second space walk performed by Mission Specialists Joe Tanner and Carlos Noriega. They connected power lines from the P6 solar arrays to the International Space Station, moved the S-band antenna from the Z1 Truss to the top of the P6 Truss, used the wireless video systems mounted on the top of their EVA suits to provide images of the tensioning system on the starboard P6 solar array, and performed work preparing Pressurized Mating Adapter 2 for its movement on a later space shuttle flight.
