Subject: New Soviet Space Walk

Two of the Soviet Salyut cosmonauts, Vladimir Solovyov and Leonid Kizin,
have just today (Aug 8) spent another five hours in a space walk.  The
purpose of this one was to do more work on the fuel lines of the station
and to take in a piece of the solar panels for return to earth for studies.
This is the sixth space walk for this pair this year, and gives them a total
of 22 hours each in vacuum.  The Russian reports went on to say this gave
more indications of the usefulness of men in building large space structures.
In recent days they have been talking of solar power sats.  That Salyut crew
has just passed the half year mark in space so who knows what the Soviets
have planned for them in the rest of their flight.  The Russians are having
their best year in space ever this year, unfortunately the same cannot be
said for this country.
