Work continues aboard the International Space Station on upgrades to
prepare it for future operational activities. Ground controllers, using
the station’s robotic arm, moved the Pressurized Mating Adapter-3
(PMA-3) from the Tranquility module to the station’s 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, NASA’s 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
