Image credit: NASA TV International Space Station crew members moved Pressurized Mating Adapter-2 from the front of the U.S. laboratory Destiny to the Harmony node early Monday, clearing the way for Harmony's relocation to its permanent home. Harmony, with PMA-2 on its outboard end, is scheduled to be moved from its temporary position on the Unity node to the front of Destiny on Wednesday. Disengagement of the first set of bolts holding PMA-2 in place began about 4:35 a.m. EST, initiated by Peggy Whitson working in Destiny. Dan Tani, the newly arrived flight engineer of Expedition 16, operated the Canadarm2 during the move.
