The main event of Day 7 is an extravehicular activity (EVA) to remove a failed Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) from the Z1 Truss of the International Space Station (ISS) (Commander Sergei Krikalev and NASA ISS Science Officer and Flight Engineer John Phillips), and install a replacement stored in the payload of Space Shuttle Discovery (Commander Eileen Collins, Pilot James Kelly, Mission Specialists Soichi Noguchi, Stephen Robinson, Andrew Thomas, Wendy Lawrence, and Charles Camarda). Discovery astronauts Noguchi and Robinson are assisted in suit-up by their fellow crew members, Noguchi is carried by the Space Station Remote Manipulator System between Discovery's payload bay and the Z1 truss in order to exchange the gyroscopes with help from the pistol grip tool. Mission Control speaks to him during the EVA in order to troubleshoot the power and data connectors for new CMG. When back in the open payload bay, Noguchi and Robinson pose for pictures of each other and the Earth.
