Completing one half of the "windshield wiper maneuver," spacewalker Ron Garan traveled from the right hand S1 truss to the left P3 truss and exchanged a depleted Nitrogen Tank Assembly for a new one. The expended assembly was bolted to a stowage platform at 11:35 a.m. EDT. Next, space station robotic arm operator Karen Nyberg will fly Garan back above the expansive truss assembly to install the new unit in place of the old one. The trek with the 528-pound assembly is expected to take 15 minutes.
