Sunita Williams sets new record



 Indian-American Sunita Williams along with a fellow astronaut today ventured out of the International Space Station, adding to her record-setting space walking sojourns, to find an ammonia leak in the vital radiator system. The excursion was of 5-6 hours.

During the spacewalk, 47-year-old Williams and Hoshide were venturing out to the port side of the station's truss to configure the 2B solar array power channel's photovoltaic thermal control system (PVTCS) to support ground-based troubleshooting of an ammonia leak, the statement said.
