Following the start of their 16-day-mission, astronauts on the space shuttle Endeavour have begun their work thousands of miles above our heads.
The space-explorers have paralysed a $200m (£100m) robot at the international space station and are now awaiting a software patch to be beamed up so they can fix it, if the patch or install fails, then the astronauts could be facing another spacewalk to mend the apparatus that is designed to help astronauts avoid difficult and dangerous spacewalks for repairs to the space station.
The astronauts had managed to piece the nine separate pieces of the robot, but were left stumped when the software didn't work.
