Crew to Install Raffaello

ISS News

The crew of Space Shuttle Discovery was awakened at 11:46 p.m. EDT Thursday for the first full day of docked operations at the International Space Station.

Among the activities on tap for today are installation of the Multi Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello, additional Shuttle exterior surveys and preparations for Saturday's spacewalk.

STS-114 Mission Specialist Wendy Lawrence and Pilot Jim Kelly will use the Station's Canadarm2 to pluck Raffaello from Discovery's payload bay and install it on the Station's Unity module. Raffaello is carrying 15 tons of supplies and equipment for ISS that will be transferred to the ISS during the coming days.
