Second spacewalk scheduled for Thursday

Astronauts to make sure tool bag is tied down so it won't float away.

Don't lose the bag. You can bet that's what astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper will be telling herself today on the second spacewalk of the current shuttle mission.

She and her crewmates will be making sure a bag of tools is tied down, so that it doesn't float away like another one did earlier this week. NASA puts its value at about $100,000.

Thursday's mission is almost identical to Wednesday's. It involves cleaning and lubricating a troublesome joint. The two astronauts will also relocate a railcar used on the space station's exterior rail track, and lubricate the end of the station's robotic arm.
