Houston TX (SPX) Mar 03, 2011 Spacewalker Alvin Drew installed a light on the Crew Equipment Translation Aid cart and affixed insulation to a valve module fluid line on a left hand truss segment radiator beam. Spacewalker Steve Bowen installed a lens cover on the station robotic arm's elbow joint camera, which will protect the lens from erosion that might be caused by visiting spacecraft thrusters. During space shuttle Discovery's final spaceflight, the STS-133 crew members will take important spare parts to the International Space Station along with the Express Logistics Carrier-4.
