Astronauts Vance Brand and Robert Overmyer will make the first
space walk from the space shuttle during STS-5, due to be
launched 11 November.  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.
