25 minutes 		20:13 STS-98
ISS Atlantis 		Template:FlagiconThomas D. Jones
Template:FlagiconRobert Curbeam 		Attached a spare communications antenna to the station, double-checked connections between the Destiny lab and its docking port, released a cooling radiator on the station, inspected solar array connections at the top of the station, and tested the ability of a spacewalker to carry an immobile crew member back to the shuttle airlock.[4] 100th American spacewalk.
11 March
05:12 		8 hours
56 minutes 		14:08 STS-102
ISS Template:SpDiscovery 		Template:FlagiconJames S. Voss
Template:FlagiconSusan J. Helms 		Prepared PMA-3 for repositioning from UnityTemplate:'s Earth-facing berth to the port-side berth to make room for the Leonardo MPLM. Removed a Lab Cradle Assembly from the shuttle's cargo bay and installed it on the side of Destiny, and installed a cable tray to Destiny for later use by the station's robot arm. After re-entering the shuttle's airlock, the spacewalkers remained ready to assist if any troubles were encountered by the crew inside the shuttle.[5] Longest-duration EVA in history.
13 March

ISS Discovery 		Template:Flagicon/Template:FlagiconAndy Thomas
Template:FlagiconPaul W. Richards 		Installed an External Stowage Platform for spare station parts, attached a spare ammonia coolant pump to the platform, finished connecting several cables put in place on the first EVA for the station's robotic arm. Inspected a Unity node heater connection, and inspected of an exterior experiment, the Floating Potential Probe.[6]
22 April

10 minutes 		18:55 STS-100
ISS Template:SpEndeavour 		Template:FlagiconChris Hadfield
Template:FlagiconScott E. Parazynski 		Installed the station's UHF antenna, and the Canadian Space Agency made Canadarm2. Connected cables to give the arm power and allow it to accept computer commands from inside the lab.[7] Hadfield became the first Canadian spacewalker.
24 April
12:34 		7 hours
40 minutes 		20:14 STS-100
ISS Endeavour 		Template:FlagiconChris Hadfield
