The second rate sensor unit easily seated into place. The spacewalkers secured it with bolts and installed connectors. They now will replace the final unit by taking the one that would not go into place and try to seat it in the final slot. There is a contingency unit, if needed, but the goal is to use the one that’s newly designed.

The spacewalkers were not able to seat the second replacement rate sensor unit into place. They now are going to take the third RSU and try to seat it in that same slot to see if that works.
