The Expedition 33 crew is getting resupplied with a Russian cargo craft Wednesday, as they prep for Thursday’s spacewalk to repair an ammonia leak.

Around 8 a.m. EDT on Thursday, Astronauts Williams and Hoshide will begin their excursion to repair an ammonia leak in one of the station's radiators. The two spacewalkers will install jumpers to bypass the leak with a spare radiator already located on the station's truss.
