<p>A spacewalk is planned at the International Space Station, Nasa has announced.</p>
<p>Two of space shuttle Discovery&#8217;s visiting crew will float outside the orbiting facility, spending several hours moving a broken ammonia pump to a better location, installing an extension cable while completing other chores.</p>
<p>One of the astronauts going out is Stephen Bowen, who was assigned to the job just last month. </p>
<p>The original lead spacewalker, Timothy Kopra, was injured in a bicycle accident and pulled off the flight. </p>
<p>Kopra, who is still on crutches, will help direct the spacewalk from Mission Control.</p>
<p>This is the last flight for Discovery. After it returns to Earth next week, it will be retired and sent to the Smithsonian Institution. </p>
<p>Only two other shuttle missions are planned.</p>
