The record-breaking EVA started just past midnight on March 11, 2001, as the spacewalking pair prepared the Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 to be moved from the ISS's Unity module to make room for Leonardo, the Station's first Multi-Purpose Logistics Module. They also removed a lab cradle assembly from Discovery's cargo bay and had it installed on the side of the U.S. Destiny laboratory. The walk in space ended at 9:08 am EST, marking the longest EVA in U.S. manned spaceflight history.
