After a 4 hour 43 minute spacewalk to replace a failed power regulator and install cabling, ESA astronaut Tim Peake and NASA astronaut Tim Kopra are back inside the International Space Station.
The meticulously planned and executed sortie was stopped early after Tim Kopra reported a small amount of water building up in his helmet. The two Tims worked in close cooperation with each other to return to the Space Station, with NASA commander Scott Kelly and cosmonaut Sergei Volkov waiting inside to help them out of their suits.

Well done Tim Peake, watched all the coverage of the Power regulator being replaced.
Are you sure that HAL did not warn you the unit was going to fail in 48 hours?
Well done Tim P and Tim K. Hope you both enjoyed the experience and had time to take in the beauty around you. Glad you’re back safely and a big thank you and well done to all concerned, both on the ISS and on the ground at the control centre. Look forward to seeing what the next few months bring.
Tim your space trip I used your trip as a homework project.
Its really interesting my school watched you fly into space.
I wish ESA/NASA could share more of the awesome teamwork and ground based support and planning that goes into a successful spacewalk. I think there are a lot of us who would enjoy and appreciate this
WOW Well Done Tim Peake. I have searched on the internet to find out more and I have found out that your birthday is on the same day as mine. You are amazing!
Your blog home page has truncated this entry’s title to “Tim and Tim safely back in Space Station after spa…”
Are you sure that the new voltage regulator wasn’t to power the ISS’s new relaxation module?
