Two crewmembers performed a spacewalk to connect power, data and communications cables between the newly arrived Zvezda Service Module and the other station modules.

Mastracchio was the ascent/entry flight engineer, the primary robotic arm operator, and responsible for the transfer of items from the Space Shuttle to the Space Station.

STS-106 orbited the Earth 185 times, and covered 4.9 million miles in 11 days, 19 hours, and 10 minutes.

2007

His next mission was STS-118 in August 2007, followed by STS-131 in April 2010.
