A still image taken from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration television on Saturday shows astronaut Rick Mastracchio fixing a broken equipment cooling system on the International Space Station. Mastracchio and colleague Mike Hopkins are on the first of three urgent spacewalks called for due to a faulty valve that caused a partial shutdown in the system that regulates equipment temperature at the space station.
