NASA astronaut Sunita Williams (Expedition 32 flight engineer) appears to touch the bright sun during the mission�s third session of extravehicular activity (EVA) on 5 September, 2012.

During the 6 hour, 28-minute spacewalk, Williams and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Aki Hoshide (visible in the reflections of Williams� helmet visor), completed the installation of a Main Bus Switching Unit (MBSU) that was hampered by a possible misalignment and damaged threads where a bolt must be placed. They also installed a camera on Canadarm2 (International Space Station�s robotic arm).
