ISS crew members E. Michael Fincke and Gennady I. Padalka performed a spacewalk to conduct maintenance tasks and to prepare the ISS for the future arrival of a new cargo spacecraft. During the nearly 51/2-hour spacewalk, Fincke and Padalka replaced a component of the ISS's cooling system, installed safety equipment for future spacewalks, and set up three antennas to aid the docking of ESA's Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), a new ISS cargo ship scheduled for launch in 2005.
