(NASA) Work continues aboard the International Space Station on upgrades to prepare it for future operational activities.

Ground controllers, using the stations robotic arm, moved the Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 (PMA-3) from the Tranquility module to the stations Harmony module March 26. PMA-3 will be outfitted with one of two International Docking Adapters to accommodate U.S. commercial spacecraft carrying astronauts on future missions.

Four days after the PMA-3 move, NASAs Shane Kimbrough and Peggy Whitson conducted the second in a series of three planned spacewalks to complete work related to the upgrades.

The third spacewalk is planned in April. Also, James Webb Space Telescope Completes Acoustic and Vibration Tests, MAVEN Data Helps Measure Loss of Mars Atmosphere, Getting Excited About STEM, and New NASA App for Amazon Fire TV!
