NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Terry Virts on Sunday (March 1) completed their third EVA (extravehicular activity) in 8 days to prepare the International Space Station for the arrival of new docking ports for commercial crewed capsules. The spacewalks, which saw the two crew mates route a record length of cables, marked the final scheduled EVAs prior to the 50th anniversary of the first-ever spacewalk in 1965.
