During their 3 hour walk, they will float about the cargo bay and practice procedures that could be used in 1984 to repair the Solar Maxim satellite that failed due to a power mechanism breakdown. NASA considers it a space even though they will not leave the spacecraft because they will be exposed to the vacuum of space.
