Late Friday morning the team aboard the orbiting outpost pushed a button that commanded one of the solar wings to begin unfolding. The 115-foot wing will take several hours to unfold according to NASA.The team members aboard the ISS watched intently as the wing began to unfold with their finger on the abort button in case something goes wrong.
