Busy Day Planned for STS-131 Crew

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:02:55 -0500

After waking up at 8:21 p.m. EDT, Discovery’s crew is scheduled to lift the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module from the shuttle’s payload bay, mate it to the International Space Station’s Harmony module, and begin unpacking the 21-foot-long, 15-foot-wide moving van.

Leonardo is delivering 8 tons of cargo, including four experiment racks and the last crew quarters to be delivered to the station. This is Leonardo’s final round-trip to the station. When it returns to the station on STS-133, it will remain as an extra room.
