Spacewalking astronauts added another
parking spot to the International Space
Station on Wednesday.


NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Andrew
Morgan had to deal with multiple cables to
install a docking port delivered by SpaceX last
month. It will be used by SpaceX and Boeing
once they start launching astronauts to the
orbiting lab late this year or early next year.


This is the station’s second docking port for
commercial crew capsules. The first was installed
three years ago. The newest port replaces one
that was destroyed during a SpaceX launch
accident in 2015.
