SPACEWALKS NEEDED TO FIX STATION COOLING PROBLEM
------------------------------------------------
Trouble with one of the International Space Station's external coolant
loops, used to dissipate the heat generated by the lab's electronics
systems, triggered an extensive powerdown late Saturday. NASA managers met
Sunday and gave preliminary approval to a difficult two-spacewalk repair
job, starting as early as Thursday, to restore the critical system to
normal operation.
