"Astronauts Steve Swanson and Joseph Acaba began the second of three STS-119 spacewalks at 12:51 p.m. EDT when they switched their spacesuits to internal battery power. After they exit the hatch, they will move to the far left side of the truss to prepare a workstation for the later removal and replacement of Port 6 (P6) batteries by STS-127 spacewalkers. Swanson and Acaba also will prepare a couple of cargo attachment systems for storing equipment and supplies on the outside of the space station, install a GPS antenna on the Japanese segment that will help guide the HTV resupply vehicle later this year, snap photos of a radiator truss whose corner has curled up and reconfigure a patch panel on the station's truss.This is Swanson's fourth spacewalk and Acaba's first. The spacewalk is expected to last 6.5 hours."
