The space shuttle Endeavour has been docked near the International Space Station (ISS) in order to repair a damaged solar panel and the rotation mechanism of the solar panels. The astronauts have already been out of the shuttle to repair some of the damage. They have a planned FOURTH spacewalk today which they expect to last for six and a half hours!
