ASTRONAUTS from the US space shuttle Discovery concluded the third and final space walk of their mission yesterday, installing new equipment on the International Space Station, but failing to connect some of the cables.

NASA astronaut Danny Olivas and his European Space Agency colleague Christer Fuglesang of Sweden concluded the more than seven-hour walk at 3.40am, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration said.
