Two astronauts continued work March 5 to upgrade the International Space Station's power system. NASA's Kate Rubins and JAXA's Soichi Noguchi spent nearly seven hours outside the station, completing work started on a previous spacewalk to assemble structures that will be used for new solar panels to be installed later this year. The astronauts did not get to other work planned for the spacewalk, such as installing electrical connections for an experiment platform, after Rubins noted a "pinprick hole" in one of her gloves. While there was no loss of pressure, station controllers decided to wrap up the spacewalk rather than perform the additional tasks.
