NEW YORK: The US astronauts did their third spacewalk of International Space Station in eight days to set up two sets of antennas that will be used as navigation tools.
This time, station commander Barry “Butch” Wilmore and flight engineer Terry Virts were preparing berthing docks for space taxis being developed by Boeing and SpaceX.
Their job was to rig more than 122 meters of cables for two sets of antennas that the new vehicles will use as navigation tools before they dock at the station. The mission was completed after just 5.5 hours, less than the seven hours originally planned on.
After the spacewalk, Virts found a small amount of water inside his helmet but said it didn’t pose a risk to his safety.
