[b]'Cable Guys' begin first of three spacewalks[/b] Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Terry Virts switched their extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) spacesuits from external power to battery at 6:45 a.m. CST (1245 GMT) Saturday (Feb. 21), marking the start of their planned six-hour, 30-minute spacewalk. Wilmore and Virts will attach power and data cables to the port and starboard sides of Pressurized Mating Adapter-2 at the forward end of the Harmony module where the first of two International Docking Adapters will be installed later this year. Wilmore, designated as EV1, is wearing a spacesuit with red stripes. Virts is wearing a spacesuit with no stripes and is designated EV2.
