CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — It's another spacewalking day for the crew of space shuttle Atlantis.

Astronaut Randolph Bresnik — the father of a new baby girl — will venture outside for the second time in three days. He will perform a series of odd jobs at the International Space Station, with help from Dr. Robert Satcher Jr.

The two will hook up a fresh oxygen tank as well as some science experiments. The first two spacewalks of the mission went so well, and the astronauts accomplished so much extra work, that only a few chores remain.

Bresnik is still walking on air following the birth of Abigail Mae. She arrived just hours after his first-ever spacewalk Saturday.

Atlantis will undock from the space station on Wednesday.
