2011-03-10 - Working from his perch on the end of Canadarm2, Dextre will close in on his target, unbolt the first circuit breaker and remove it. He will then back up slightly to give himself more room to rotate at the waist in order to align his free hand with the second circuit breaker, and will grab it and slide it out. Afterwards, Dextre will move back again to give himself room to flip a second time so that he can align the first circuit breaker with the empty slot, and will slide it into place. He'll then return to the first worksite and replace the second breaker.
