The space shuttle Endeavour and International Space Station crews continued outfitting the Japanese Logistics Module - Pressurized Section (JLP), transferring supplies and equipment into it from Endeavour, as well as configuring racks inside the module.

The JLP is the first pressurized component of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory and the newest component of the station. Marking the beginning of Japan's scientific work aboard the station, astronauts entered the new module Friday.

The crews tested the brakes in the Dextre robotic system's arms. Dextre is the final element of the International Space Station's Mobile Servicing System. Mission Specialists Rick Linnehan and Mike Foreman assembled Dextre Sunday during the second spacewalk of STS-123.

1. Upcoming School Contact The Non Profit Organization Kodomo Support Project in Kyoto, Japan has been approved for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Wednesday, March 26 at 10:40 UTC. The Project was established in 2006 to provide a network for parents and the community to support the social, mental and physical education of children. Participants will learn about wireless communication, space and science technology. 2. Lycee mixte René Gosse Contact Successful On Monday, March 10, students at Lycee mixte René Gosse in Clermont L'Herault, France participated in an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact. The scheduled contact at 08:32 UTC did not take place due to Eyharts' work responsibilities. A request to reschedule the contact for the next orbit was made and the ARISS team quickly responded, setting up a telebridge station between Clermont l'Herault and Kingston, Australia. This second attempt was successful. Nine students were able to ask one question each of the astronaut. Approximately 50 students, ten teachers and more than 75 amateur radio operators were present. Audio was fed into the EchoLink server. Three regional and local newspapers covered the event, as well as 3 television broadcast stations.
