Two astronauts will venture outside the International Space Station Tuesday to kick off their mission's first spacewalk while their crewmates inside begin unpacking the tons of cargo delivered by the shuttle Discovery.

Discovery astronaut Danny Olivas and station crewmember Nicole Stott plan to don their NASA-issue spacesuits and float outside at 5:49 p.m. EDT (2149 GMT) to begin a 6 1/2-hour maintenance call on the orbiting laboratory. Their main chore will be the removal of an old, enormous ammonia coolant tank.
